FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
This is now: Philadelphia Chooses Nutter
After months of heated debate, court battles, and increasingly negative
TV ads, the race for the Democratic candidate for Philadelphia's mayor
is over. Philadelphia Dems have selected former City Councilman Michael
Nutter as their choice for the City's new mayor. Until recent weeks, Nutter
had been a dark horse candidate, but his profile rose exponentially after
he was endorsed by all of the area's major newspapers.
What would a Nutter administration mean for you? Read about his stance
on the issues in this week's top story by Uzy Igweatu, Meet
Michael Nutter, from our Mayoral Guide.
- Nicole Woods, La Salle

Contact Sandrine at Sandrine@spirit.gcrc.upenn.edu or Susan at susanmr@itmat.upenn.edu for more information or to participate.
