On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors passed Mayor Daniel Lurie’s long-promised fentanyl ordinance. The mayor’s first piece of legislation gives him more power in doling out contracts to address the city’s drug, mental health and homelessness crises, while reducing the supervisors’ oversight.

The ordinance will allow Mayor Daniel Lurie's administration to bypass bidding processes that can take months and swiftly enter into contracts to address addiction and homelessness.
