(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County Commissioner Sharon Meieran is calling on the state to take over mental health services in the county. Under Oregon law, counties are directed to act as the Local Mental Health Authorities. Meieran says Multnomah County has failed to meet the obligation. She says the county hasn't dealt with the fentanyl crisis, hasn't made progress on a proposed Behavioral Health Emergency Coordination Network and there's been a record number of deaths in the county jail. Meieran made the request to the Governor's office. Governor Tina Kotek hasn't issued a response.
