Oregon became the first state to decriminalize drugs like meth, cocaine and heroin this past election through Measure 110. The decision does not legalize these drugs, but supporters say it can help lead people away from jail and into treatment.“We work primarily with folks who are injecting heroin and methamphetamines,” Haven Wheelock said. She runs drug user health services at medical clinic Outside In, in Portland. “It’s really about engaging people who are using substances and helping to give them tools to be happy, healthy and hopefully survive.”One of the programs they provide is a syringe exchange service, to give users clean needles and materials to use.“I have seen for decades how our current system of criminalizing drug use and addiction has really damaged lives and harmed people I care about,” she said.That system is changing. “Most of the clients I've had the opportunity to talk to about this really have this sense of relief, honestly,” Wheelock said. “The measure effectively decriminalizes personal use amounts of substances as well as provides funding for addiction and recovery support services across the state of Oregon.”However, decriminalization is different from legalization.“Decriminalization is basically making something so that it is no longer a criminal offense if you were to do it, it is still seen as a violation,” said Christopher Campbell, an Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Portland State University. “Full blown legalization is more like there is no violation whatsoever associated with it, within certain degrees.”With decriminalization, instead of going to jail for having personal amounts of a drug on you, “you have a choice then of a 0 fine, or you take this chemical dependent screener assessment that determines if you are a good candidate for treatment,” Campbell explained.This puts the focus on treatment, not jail.“If you have fewer arrests based on possession, you're going to have fewer people in pre-trial detention,” Campbell said. “So you'll have fewer people going to prison. It’s kind of a chain reaction.”In many states across the U.S., personal use possession of drugs like these is a felony offense. Back in 2017, the Oregon governor signed a bill making it a misdemeanor.“I don't think it’s going to dramatically decrease the prison population. It might decrease it a little bit. I think the biggest one we’ve seen was felony to misdemeanor,” Campbell said.The impacts of a drug-related felony charge is something Bobby Byrd has experienced his whole life.“For the small possession of drugs,” Byrd explained. “That conviction ruined my life in a lot of ways. Kept me from getting jobs. Kept me from getting apartments.”Byrd was arrested decades ago in the 1990s.“I know this may not be able to help my past, but I don't want what happened to me to happen to anybody else in their future,” he said. “People don’t need punishment for their addiction, people need help for their addiction.”That’s exactly why he’s been vocal in his backing of Measure 110. The measure is also paving a path for easier access to treatment.“You won't have to have gotten in trouble in order to access these services,” Wheelock said.“Oregon has kind of been primed for this. We’ve been very much on this progressive slate,” Campbell said.From the first to decriminalize marijuana in 1973, to decriminalizing most other drugs, Oregon has paved the path to a lot of drug-related policy. Campbell said if it does what it intends, increase treatment and decrease use, other states may look to Oregon.“I think there's a good chance that a lot of states will be interested in this,” he said. 3669

On Monday, the US House voted in favor of a 0 billion stimulus package that includes funds for the travel industry. Early in the pandemic, airlines were able to retain many employees during the spring in summer with assistance from the federal government as air travel has been cut by over 50% since March. That funding ran out on September 30.The stimulus provides billion through the Payroll Support Program. The program will help airlines pay workers and provide benefits for industry workers through the end of March. The funds also will help airlines transport coronavirus vaccines.In a letter to employees, United Airlines leaders said that its prepared to return thousands of employees who were furloughed in September. Those employees will be brought back on a temporary basis, United Airlines said.“As you know, involuntary furloughs were always a last resort for us and we worked really hard over the summer – through cost-cutting, capital-raising, and partnering with our unions – to make the number of people who were ultimately impacted as small as possible,” said United CEO J. Scott Kerby and President Brett Hart in a joint letter. “Now, those employees who are eligible under the terms of the PSP extension can temporarily come back to United through March 2021.”Leaders from the Association of Flight Attendants said that Monday’s bill passage should have come months ago.“Aviation is safe when we fly with the spirit that ‘we’re all in this together.’ Our AFA Government Affairs activists never stopped fighting and were joined by thousands of new Flight Attendant activists who got involved in our union to make this possible,” said the Association of Flight Attendants President Sara Nelson. “While we are getting everyone back on payroll, connected to healthcare and help to the whole country, this is just a downpayment on what’s needed for recovery. We need everyone ready to fight forward.”Due to concerns over the spread of the virus, several airlines have eliminated the middle seat on flights. Other airlines are capping the number of passengers on board flights.In addition to these restrictions, international travel is largely restricted from the US.Amid the pandemic, carriers are attempting to regain confidence in travel. Airlines are strictly enforcing mask wearing on board flights, and have been promoting sanitation efforts to eliminate the coronavirus from spreading among passengers.“We hope you find comfort in the policies we’ve implemented to keep you safe, including blocking middle seats, using electrostatic spraying on surfaces in the airport and onboard between flights, and requiring masks. Wearing a mask is the No. 1 thing each of us can do to help control the spread of the virus and protect each other,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian wrote in a letter to customers. 2824

Another neighbor was the same person I saw near the garage when I discovered the slur," said Earls.Amid all the pain, something remarkable happened. After police arrived, a stranger came up to him."A man handed me an envelope, hugged me and said he loved me ... Inside was 0 and a note asking the money to be used for a reward. Shows there are good people. I have a lot of great neighbors," said Earls.Earls has told police about which neighbors have used the slurs before. He is offering that 0 reward for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information is asked to 760-435-4900. 1439

One superintendent is making headlines for arming his classrooms, with a bucket of stones.The Pennsylvania superintendent says under current laws, this was the best he could come up with -- Filling up a five-gallon bucket with rocks."If an armed intruder attempts to gain entrance into any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks, and they will be stoned," said David Helsel.This idea of how to protect his students in the event of an active shooter situation has received praise and ridicule."You can throw them very hard and they will cause pain, which can distract," said Helsel. 630

On Monday, the 16th anniversary of 9/11, a Fox News commentator wondered if a memorial for victims of the terrorist attack might eventually meet the same fate as statues depicting Confederate generals.In an interview with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade alluded to a memorial for passengers of United Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Zinke was slated to speak."Do you worry that 100 years from now someone is going to take that memorial down like they are trying remake our memorials today?" Kilmeade asked, referring to the recent controversies that have led to the removal of statues for Confederate military leaders like Robert E. Lee. 701
