Constituent Coffee: May 31st @ 10 am, Hideaway Bakery, 3377 E Amazon Dr, Eugene
Rep. Fragala (D, HD8) just voted AGAINST legislation that would repeal the disastrous 2021 law, House Bill 3115, which handcuffed cities and counties’ ability to manage public camping and homelessness.
HB 3115 is a failed experiment that tied the hands of local leaders. In Grants Pass, despite a Supreme Court win in Johnson v. Grants Pass, they’re being forced to expand homeless camps in residential neighborhoods. The result is chaos—open drug use, rising crime, and families living in fear.
Oregon has become the most comfortable place in the nation to be a criminal or drug addict, and we’re attracting more by the day. Executive salaries at well-funded homelessness nonprofits—many connected to the Governor’s allies—continue to grow, but results don’t follow. That vote made one thing clear: she has no intention of fixing this crisis.
