THE URBAN RENEWER: JOHN FETTERMAN

摘要

When Braddock, Pa.'s eccentric mayor, John Fetterman, started tattooing the dates of local killings on his forearm in 2006, townspeople told him, "You're gonna run out of arm." That hasn't happened: the town of 2,500 hasn't had a murder in 40 months. And when a community has been dying as long as Braddock, a dramatic decline in crime is a welcome sign of life. The question, of course, is why? Since his election in 2005, Fetter-man's hulking physique, his Harvard education, and the family money he poured into this Pittsburgh suburb made him a star.
