📧 - [San José, CA] - September 7, 2026 - A Message from Mayor Matt - newsletter
EXCERPT: "The mayor calls for strengthening California's mental health system and expanding treatment options to better address fentanyl addiction and reduce recidivism through Prop 36.
He advocates applying Prop 36's treatment-mandated felony approach and notes the need for more treatment beds and accountable rehabilitation before release.
He plans to send city and county leaders to San Diego to study how Prop 36 is used to compel more repeat offenders into treatment and to inform local reforms.
He emphasizes balancing public safety with opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration for people who have served time.
The message highlights ongoing efforts in San José to improve behavioral health and criminal justice reforms as part of a broader public health approach."
