An interesting fact about the police reform package in 2021 is that everyone except police unions signed up to support it -- community groups, cities, counties, the chiefs, and sheriffs all supported the package.

Monday morning thread on police misconduct reform: Protests in Portland started in May 2020 because of the murder of George Floyd. Every night brought a new example of police misconduct that needed a new state law to stop!

Longer thread coming later today on the committee hearings and bills that were produced since the outrage committee forgot what happened 6-7 years ago. It's really too bad for them that I have a good memory, and that we created SO much documentation.

"Remigration" is a term with roots in the far-right identitarian movement in Europe. It essentially refers to a mass program of ethnic cleansing through forced migration of racial or ethnic minorities regardless of their legal status.

I love when workgroup findings are exactly what I've been saying for three years. #orleg
HB 2235 Workgroup Key Findings
• Administrative burdens undermine retention and patient care.
• Low reimbursement rates and inadequate pay drive public behavioral health 
providers away.
• Culturally and linguistically specific providers in the behavioral health field face 
added burdens.
• Lack of structured career pathways and workforce development persist.
• A shortage of master’s level and advanced behavioral health professionals limit 
access to care.
• CMHPs and COA organizations, essential safety nets, face additional 
burdens.
• Licensing barriers worsen workforce shortages.
