In this episode, Christopher invites Rebecca into the studio to explore the political trajectory of one of Philadelphia's most dynamic women. After defeating three-term incumbent Alan Butkovitz to take the office of City Controller in 2017 with a margin of victory of 58%-41%, Rebecca has continued her unrelenting pursuit of common sense in city government. At the same time, her passionate analysis of Philadelphia's response to the social justice movement of 2020 shows her willingness to think independently and push the City of Philadelphia in a new direction.
