$350K WASTED: Contractors MACE Activists at Oregon Homeless Camp Fiasco

Nothing says efficient government like spending $350,000 to clean up a homeless encampment that officials have ignored for over a decade. Oregon's Department of State Lands finally decided to address the Sandy River Delta situation—with hazmat crews, private security, and yes, bear mace for activists who dared to interfere.We dive into this spectacular display of bureaucratic problem-solving where officials claim there's no housing available while simultaneously spending hundreds of thousands on cleanup crews. Watch as activists get maced for protecting people living in conditions the state created through years of policy neglect. Meanwhile, campers face the impossible choice between nonexistent shelter options and arrest for trespassing on land they've occupied without enforcement action for years.Is anyone surprised that the 'solution' involves more security contractors than social workers? How exactly does ignoring a problem for a decade suddenly make it an emergency worth $350,000 in taxpayer money? And why are we spraying citizens with bear mace instead of addressing the root causes that put them there?
