Oregon lawmakers should use the revenue surplus to make sure all Oregonians get a #fairshot next session. #orleg
New Oregon revenue forecast is dropping today. Economists say the state might bring in roughly $530M more this budget cycle than expected just three months ago -- and about $1.1B more in general fund resources than expected when lawmakers passed a budget last year. #orleg

Oregon has some of the worst arrest disparities in the country and a public defense system in crisis. By making addiction a crime, HB 4002 adds thousands more people to caseloads. People struggling with addiction need access to detox and treatment services – not HB 4002. #orleg

This afternoon lawmakers hold their first – and perhaps only – hearing on HB 4002. Instead of rushing to criminalize people for addiction, #orleg should deliver the treatment services Oregonians have been deprived of for decades. That's a solution. #orpol
