I have mixed feelings on the impeachment. On one hand, I think it's a dangerous precedent for state lawmakers (mostly rural with a strong disdain for the City) to interfere in local matters. As if they even care about what happens in Philadelphia? Especially considering that Kranser was just re-elected <12 months ago, winning by a substantial margin.

On the other hand, Krasner is awful. I personally think his election says more about Philly's voters than it does about his policies. For far too long, Philly voters have re-affirmed incumbents regardless of their performance or entanglement in corruption. Hell, the FBI's investigation into John Street actually helped his campaign. Bobby Henon and Kenyatta Johnson are other recent examples.

This city will only go as far as our elected leaders take it but unfortunately, the city's voters keep electing idiots.
