My take on this: She has no right to. That was a ballot measure, not a law passed by the Oregon legislature. If they want it repealed, send it back to ballot. Ballot measures are a check and balance on the power of the legislature, they are worthless if the legislature can just reverse them. Suggesting they have the power to do so should be a career-ending event for any elected representative.
I look forward to voting against you in the primaries Kotek.
I think my perspective is we need to both help/address these folks problems in a humane way but also make the city more usable for the rest of the population. Not only prioritizing homeless folks’s needs if that makes sense. I’m not trying to demonize them at all, just also focus on making the city more usable too.
