Daniel Lurie’s supporters say his wealth means he owes no one any favors. But skeptics say the rich already have too much say.

Cash-strapped San Francisco is betting on a new way to pay for its fight against a deadly fentanyl crisis: appealing to the city’s wealthy elite.

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors appears ready to grant newly elected Mayor Daniel Lurie greater powers to expedite the city’s response to its fentanyl and homelessness crisis.

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.
