Sheriff Bilal Pushes Back on Mismanagement Allegations & Calls to Abolish Office

There’s no other elected official in Philly getting more scrutiny right now than Sheriff Rochelle Bilal. Some even want her office abolished. Just this week, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s editorial board called for her fellow elected Democrats to take her to task for a range of alleged mismanagement, corruption, and security problems uncovered by reporters. So on today’s show host Trenae Nuri goes down to the Sheriff’s Office on Broad Street and hears directly from Philly Sheriff Rochelle Bilal. She argues that she fixed a broken office, denies that there have been security problems on her watch at the courthouses, and calls for a huge increase in her budget.
