Honestly I voted for Measure 110 because I believe arresting and locking people up for possession of a small amount of drugs who aren't otherwise breaking any laws (such as DUI) is a waste of law enforcement resources. I never could have imagined the death, distruction and crime it would cause.

Fentanyl is already illegal and it carries the possibility of death when consumed. If the real possibility of death, as well as seeing friends and others dying doesn't stop people from using it, then nothing will. Removing the fentanyl from our hospitals, secure our boarders and remove the threat.

Never dshould have passed to decriminailze drugs and reversing it now will not help,many peple are too addicted to get help now and the only thing to stop fentanyl is to close the border, democrats do not want to do that as they are hoping to allow them to vote.

This has been a political joke. It was morality signaling with intent to never follow thru or create the supportive infrastructure. Continual setbacks in implementation, esp. the admin side. + police refused giving citations in 110 leading to recovery, cause big mad about funding. INTENTIONAL FLOP$

Because securing our borders is the only real solution that will help the fentanyl crisis.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
