18 Republican lawmakers are urging President Biden to take “decisive action” on the fentanyl crisis -- expressing “deep concern” over what they say is inaction by the administration.
The letter also criticized efforts by the Biden administration to offer grants to safe smoking and syringe programs, and the Department of Justice collaborations with operators of safe injection sites. They also criticize a proposal by the administration related to fentanyl analogues -- fentanyl-related substances that can be even more potent than fentanyl itself."Your administration’s proposal would exempt these substances from quantity-based mandatory minimum sentences," they write.
The lawmakers ask Biden if addressing fentanyl is a"top priority" for the administration, and what its plan of action is to combat the issue. Separately they request answers to a number of questions about the policy on fentanyl analogues -- including whom it consulted, and the data used to make the decision.
