Multnomah County DA-elect Nathan Vasquez said Tuesday that he will insist that the county’s approach to drug possession cases starting this fall “must include accountability and meaningful connection to treatment.”
Beginning Wednesday, Vasquez will start attending the county’s closed-door planning meetings at the invitation of county Chair Jessica Vega Pederson. She overrode objections by current DA Mike Schmidt to bring Vasquez to the table.
