Mayor Nutter's administration vows to reform the "Neighborhood Transformation Initiative," the signature program of former Mayor John Street that was criticized this week in an audit by City Controller Alan Butkovitz.

Two new members of the School Reform Commission are sworn in and then briefed on the district's $197 million deficit.

The state's Department of Corrections is considering shipping inmates to prisons in other states to cope with over-crowding.

The District Attorney's Office is considering the death penalty for the man accused of organizing a stick-up turned double murder at the Piazza at Schmidts while a judge reduces charges for two of the three men accused in a fatal beating outside a Phillies game.
