Oregon county that used a $1 lease to target homeless camp faces federal lawsuit

Curry County leased the parcel to a local business owner for $1 in order to swiftly dismantle a homeless camp on a slip of public property in Brookings.

This made it possible for sheriff’s deputies to give the final camper, a paraplegic guy residing in a tent, a criminal citation for trespassing on private property.
