Philly’s 100th Mayor

The voluntary program is designed to give students additional help and tutoring when an extended break results in educational regression.

The multi-billion dollar spending plan includes $100 million for a 640-bed drug rehab center on the edge of the prison complex in Northeast Philadelphia.

The mayor’s initial spending plan did not include city funding for the new 70-unit development in West Philadelphia.

Demonstrators protested a relatively flat budget proposal for Parks & Rec, saying more money for rec centers would help fight gun violence.

The 13-week effort will include fixing potholes, addressing abandoned properties and removing abandoned cars.

The Philadelphia Housing Authority is poised to build 70 units on the former site of the University City Townhomes. It needs funding from the city before that can happen.

The goal is to reduce the “summer slide” where students' minds aren’t stimulated and subject matter needs to be re-taught after vacation.

Mayor Cherelle Parker warned of outside forces attempting to use the disagreement to drive a wedge between her office and City Council.

The goal of the "PHL: Open for Business" effort is to make starting or keeping a business easier for people, especially disadvantaged communities who need help.

The settlement will halt in-store and online sales of ghost guns for four years. Parker also spoke of reducing homicides to pre-pandemic levels and stopping "car meets."

The effort will include crews dedicated to neighborhood cleanup and more trash cans on city streets.

The actions ban gambling devices in convenience stores, outlaw flipping devices and mandate an 11 p.m. business curfew in Kensington.

Parker’s first budget proposal includes $24 million for the 2024-2025 school year.

Parker’s spending proposal revealed more details about her plan to make Philly the cleanest big city in the country.

The $6.3 billion spending plan would enact the administration’s “Clean and Green” priorities.
