Mayor Kenney grades his performance in a roller coaster year
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
In 2021, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney faced a pandemic, a gun violence epidemic, battles over the 2020 election results, worker shortages, and more. Our City Hall Bureau Chief Pat Loeb sat down with the mayor to take a look back at how he handled one of the toughest years in the city's history. Kenney grades the city's performance on violence and education, and he reflects on how the turmoil and extreme reactions from city residents have affected his mental health. We also discuss the results of the Dougherty/Henon trial, how that could affect city politics, and Kenney's connection with John Dougherty. Finally, we look forward to the next two years and what Mayor Kenney hopes to accomplish.
