Kenney grades the city's performance on violence and education, and he reflects on how the turmoil and extreme reactions from city residents have affected his mental health. We also discuss the results of the Dougherty/Henon trial, how that could affect city politics, and Kenney's connection with John Dougherty. Finally, we look forward to the next two years and what Mayor Kenney hopes to accomplish.
