Some laws are simply outside the mayor's jurisdiction, including the ones governing hot-button issues like abortion access and a $15 minimum wage. Only the state or federal government can control those rights for all Philadelphians.

Jackson decision last summer, we asked the candidates for Philadelphia mayor what they would do to address these issues, within the limits of office.

The North Philadelphia block where Temple University Police Sgt. Christopher Fitzgerald was shot and killed last month will be renamed in his honor. City Council voted unanimously Thursday to designate the 1700 block of West Montgomery Avenue as Christopher Fitzgerald Way. The resolution noted that Fitzgerald was known for "his hard work and and dedication to his oath to keep the public safe."

But even as we search for answers to stem the violence, we must have an honest conversation about which public safety policies do and do not work.
