What are Philadelphians expecting from Cherelle Parker's administration?

Well, Philadelphia will swear in its 100th mayor tomorrow morning. Sherell Parker has new priorities and promised changes at City Hall. CBS Philadelphia's Dan Snyder has been talking with Philadelphians today about what they hope to see from our city's next mayor. Are you hopeful things are going to get better in 2024? Yes, definitely. I'm very hopeful. It's a beautiful city. There's plenty of hope to be had in Philadelphia as we enter a new year. Hope that new leadership at City Hall under Mayor Sherell Parker can usher in changes for the city. But what will those changes look like? You'll get a formal action plan on day one when this administration is sworn into office. While we await Parker's plan, many Philadelphians know what they want to see from the next mayor. Most say they want to feel safer. Just to get the city under control. I mean, there's a lot of crazy things happening and we need to just figure that all out. City data shows at least 409 homicides in Philadelphia in 2023. That marks a 21 percent drop from 2022. But it's also the fourth straight year with more than 400 killings, far too many in some residents' eyes. There are too many killings going on in this city and we are hoping for a better city. That's all. Maybe she can do better than the males can. Maybe she can help with this crime and get these kids off the streets, get them in programs, after school programs so they won't be doing the stuff that they do. Parkers told us they hope education and initiatives to curb substance abuse and homelessness are priorities of the Parker administration. But people we talked with say the people have to be part of the changes too. People to come together. The community starts to build the bonds that we need. Everybody starts to love and appreciate each other and accept that we're all different but we're all the same. We got to come together as a community to fix our city.
