'I am at war with the status quo,' says mayor one day before a judge decides if her back-to-office order will stand

Philadelphia All Local

The KYW Newsradio All-Local on Thursday, July 11, 2024 (morning edition):

• Mayor Cherelle Parker may lose in her effort to bring all city workers back to the office full time. A judge on Thursday will hear a request by the city’s white-collar workers union to halt the action. But the mayor has made it clear: If she goes down, she’ll go down swinging.

• Philadelphia prosecutors will not pursue the death penalty for the man charged with first-degree murder in last year’s shooting death of Temple University Police Sgt. Christopher Fitzgerald.

• The excessive heat warning we have been under has expired. Although temperatures remained warm as the sun went down, it didn’t stop Phillies fans from packing Citizens Bank Park and seeing the team stay hot in a hard-fought 4-3 win against the Dodgers.
