Why Should Oregonians Oppose Ballot Measure 61? It's a Sentencing Gimmick.
Brought to the ballot by Kevin Mannix and out‐of‐state tycoon Loren Parks, Measure 61 is a rigid one-size-fits-all sentencing gimmick that we already know doesn’t work.
Measure 61 will require the state to build three new prisons at a cost of more than a billion dollars. Warehousing people isn’t the answer.
This measure does not include any funding solutions for the more than one billion dollars for prison construction plus up to $400 million per biennium to implement.
Measure 61 does not require drug treatment and does not specify increased sentences for theft against the elderly. Measure 57 does.
That’s why DAs, law enforcement officials, sheriffs and seniors support the other crime measure, Measure 57, is a tough and cost‐effective way to deal with crime.
Measure 61 is not the best way to fight crime.
Measure 57 is.
