On Record Pace. Again.

This morning brings the news that the City of Philadelphia has recorded its 100th homicide for the year. The city is well on nits way to shattering last year's record number of homicides. In 2006, the 100th murder in Philadelphia was not recorded until April 14th. Simply put, the level of violent crime in Philadelphia is out of control and getting worse. And it is no coincidence that the explosion in the homicide rate took place on Mayor Street's watch. That is his legacy. It is a legacy of uncontrolled violence and failure. He cannot leave office too soon.
