GOP Lawmakers Demand Special Session to Repeal Measure 110

Republican lawmakers in Oregon are urging the governor to convene a special legislative session to repeal Measure 110, a voter-approved measure that decriminalized small amounts of hard drugs. They argue that the state's access to treatment has worsened since the measure's passage, citing data on drug overdose deaths. Democrats acknowledge the need for changes to Measure 110 but believe that repealing it alone will not solve the drug crisis. The debate over the measure's effectiveness continues, with some advocating for a combination of criminal justice interventions and expanded treatment programs.
