Mayor Daniel Lurie has gained near-unanimous approval for restrictions on the Board of Supervisors' oversight concerning contracts related to the fentanyl crisis. Now, he proposes an ordinance allowing him to remove Police Commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone, who has been a strong voice for independence within the commission. This move appears strategic, potentially setting the stage for Lurie to install a new Police Chief by securing a majority vote among the Board. While some supervisors express discontent, insiders indicate Lurie likely possesses the necessary support to proceed with his agenda.
Lurie’s push to limit oversight over the Police Department signals his intent to consolidate power and possibly replace the Police Chief, amidst local political tensions.
The approval of measures limiting the Board's oversight on fentanyl contracts suggests Lurie’s strategic maneuvering to ensure his preferred policing approach and staff choices.
