SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, and 35 other U.S. mayors sent a letter to congressional leaders urging them to pass President Joe Biden’s supplemental funding request, which includes critical resources to address the fentanyl and synthetic opioid crisis on Tuesday. "President Biden's funding request gets at the heart of what we need --more funding for treatment to help those struggling with addiction and to prevent overdoses, and support for public safety and enforcement efforts to hold those accountable who are profiting off this deadly drug. This crisis requires partnerships at all levels of government, and I'm grateful for President Biden's call for more support,” said Mayor London Breed.
