(Portland, OR) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports Oregon's fentanyl overdose death rate has grown over 15-hundred percent since before the pandemic. It's the largest increase in the nation. Oregon House Republican Leader Jeff Helfrich blames the increase on Ballot Measure 110, that legalized possession of small amounts of controlled substances. Republicans support a bill that would make possession a Class A misdemeanor while some Democrats support a bill that would make it a Class C misdemeanor, with less jail time. Helfrich is calling on Democrats to stop stalling and take action.
