Crisis in the Northwest: Are voters 'beyond a turning point' after decades of progressive politics?

Lawmakers promise change as rising homelessness, drug use frustrate Oregonians

It was a quiet morning, aside from the man shouting incoherently behind the Oregon State Capitol. He paced back and forth, occasionally flailing his arms, and seemed unbothered by the January drizzle.

Extremely overlong and overly dramatic "news" article.

Here's the key paragraph, probably the only part that's news:

Quote:Both parties have signaled a desire to roll back the state’s landmark drug decriminalization law during the February legislative session. A Democratic lawmaker is considering bringing back involuntary commitment. City leaders — including those in Portland — hope the Supreme Court will give them the power to restrict homeless people camping on public property.

I hope they do all of the above. Long overdue.
