More than 130 people died of a drug overdose in January and February combined, according to the San Francisco medical examiner's most recent reports. Last year just over 100 people died of an overdose in the first two months.
"I spent two years in the police department month after month in a meeting previewing the monthly report on drug overdose deaths and month after month, I looked at the number knowing I was one bad decision away from being a number," said Supervisor Dorsey.
"My sense is that the community has had enough of excuses and they want answers about what we're doing," said Supervisor Dorsey.
