Supervised injection site debate hijacks Mayor Jim Kenney’s annual visit to City Council

Supporters and opponents of supervised injection sites sat side by side in the Council chambers, and booed or cheered public comment speakers and Council members as they debated the issue.

Protesters in favor of a supervised injection site sit in the gallery of City Council chambers at Philadelphia City Hall on Thursday, March 05, 2020. Discussions surrounding the site took place before Mayor Kenney's budget proposal.
