Jan. 29, 2025 – Mayor Lurie’s ordinance aims to cut through the city’s red tape to address the fentanyl crisis.
“People in San Francisco are suffering, every day that we don’t act is another day of life lost to addiction, to overdose and to despair. our response must be just as urgent as the crisis that we are facing,” Lurie said.
If the board of supervisors approve this plan, it would essentially give the mayor’s office the power to approve city contracts that would normally go through the board.
But this isn’t quite a slam dunk for Lurie.
Supervisor Shamann Walton says he agrees with the end goal but still thinks the overall plan lacks details and he doesn’t think supervisors should be giving the mayor what he calls, “dictatorship authority.”
