Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon!

Just what is a “fentanyl state of emergency?” Joe Eskenazi analyzes Mayor Lurie’s first big proposal, and separates rhetoric from actions. He finds that Lurie’s main plan for fighting the drug crisis is to give departments carte blanche to enter into contracts.ย See if you think that will work.

Asian voters were key to Daniel Lurie’s victory: we asked a few who attended the new mayor’s Chinatown party what they wanted most from him. “Fentanyl state of emergency” wasn’t mentioned: public transit and public safety were the biggest priorities. Read the responses.

Speaking of public transit, there are two days left to fill out the SFMTA’s accessibility survey. Take a minute and add your thoughts on how to improve transit for people with disabilities and seniors.

More soon,

Sara
