I thank Ms Wilson very much.

To Mr. Russoniello, I am really struck by what he describes as the campaign to reverse measure 110 and the lack of leadership. He might share his reflections on the level of investment or the infrastructure that exists in Oregon with regard to harm reduction and health services. Was that part of why measure 110 was ultimately reversed? I note that he lists other reasons as well but I would be interested to hear about the infrastructure that was in place previously and whether it improved or disimproved after measure 110 was introduced.
