    DA Race: Krasner Touts Low Murder Rate & Compares Opponent to Trump
    Apr 30 2025
    For our Wednesday politics episode, District Attorney Larry Krasner visits City Cast Philly to make his case for why he deserves a third term as the city’s chief prosecutor. He touts the lowest murder rate in a half-century, compares his opponent to Donald Trump, tells his side of why there hasn’t been a debate in the race, talks about the Eagles’ visit to the White House, discusses the role of George Soros’ money in his campaigns, analyzes the mayor’s “work-in-progress” plan in Kensington, and defends himself from criticism that he doesn’t work well with other elements of law enforcement. His opponent, former Judge Pat Dugan – who rejects any comparison to Trump, by the way – will be on the show next Wednesday, May 7, so stay tuned. The Democratic primary election for district attorney is May 20. Thoughts on the D.A.’s race?

  • State Rep. Jared Solomon Wants To Get Rid of the Sheriff’s Office & Gifts for Lawmakers

    State Rep. Jared Solomon Wants To Get Rid of the Sheriff’s Office & Gifts for Lawmakers
    Apr 23 2025
    It’s Wednesday, so we’re talking politics on City Cast Philly. State Representative Jared Solomon of Northeast Philly is sometimes referred to as a “reformer.” Why? He wants to ban Pennsylvania state lawmakers from getting gifts from people who are trying to curry their favor. He wants to term limits for congressional representatives. And he wants to eliminate Philly’s long-troubled sheriff’s office. In this wide-ranging interview at his law office in Center City, Solomon talks about why he’s committed to reform, what’s happening with the Roosevelt Boulevard SEPTA project, and how – maybe most controversially – he says people should go to the Northeast for the best and cheapest restaurants in the city.
