Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie has initiated a legislative proposal to expedite San Francisco's response to drug-related issues like overdoses and drug dealing. His plan received a near-unanimous initial approval from the Board of Supervisors, facing only one opposition vote from Supervisor Shamann Walton. Critics are cautious due to historical corruption incidents in City Hall, leading to calls for a more substantial framework to ensure effective oversight. The proposal is set for a second reading on February 11, 2025, with several supervisors voicing support for the intended reforms to aid the city’s recovery efforts.
I'm happy to support the result - a package of sensible reforms to streamline the City's response to the crisis on our streets that also preserves an oversight role for the Board.
Concerns about Lurie's approach have been raised, highlighting past examples of corruption in City Hall, such as wrongfully awarding contracts and bribery.
