	Philadelphia Online Citizen Voices
		John F. Street, a onetime vendor who rose to become City Council president, yesterday was elected to succeed Edward G. Rendell as mayor of the nation's fifth-largest city
		Today, while John F. Street marshals support from President Clinton and other Democratic dignitaries, Republican Sam Katz will be campaigning for mayor the same way he has for the last year: on stage alone, promoting his business acumen and civic vision, downplaying his party affiliation and lack of government experience.
		After a feisty morning exchange, mayoral candidates John F. Street and Sam Katz went their separate ways yesterday: Street continued his parade of celebrity Democratic endorsements and Katz lay low, attending a son's birthday and speaking in the evening at two neighborhood forums.

	Salon News Philly's IOU mayor
		However, any positive impressions Street made on those who have traditionally mistrusted him were squandered by his general election campaign, which from the onset was so poorly run that phone calls often went unreturned and campaign dates were routinely ignored.
		Street is a tireless worker with an amazing grasp of Philadelphia's $2 billion budget and what makes the city tick.
		Street's anemic 8,000-vote margin over GOP entrepreneur Sam Katz raised a serious question for the Dems: How will the party be able to govern effectively in Philadelphia considering how many political favors it took to get Street elected in a city so overwhelmingly Democratic that he should have been a shoo-in?

	FBI bug helps Street win re-election as Philadelphia mayor
		Street, a 25-year veteran of Philadelphia's political wars and a former president of City Council, was joined by Gov. Ed Rendell, a popular two-term mayor, and hundreds of cheering, clapping supporters in a joyous celebration at the Wyndham Franklin Plaza Hotel in Center City last night.
		Street, who is black, was joined by many members of the city's large African-American population in saying the bug was another misguided federal effort to embarrass an important black leader, as former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had done in the 1960s by investigating civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
		Street is a dour politician who doesn't smile a lot in public, but he had the look of a winner last night, grinning broadly at the happy crowd.

	www.phillymag.com: The Great Days of John Street
		John Street was born to be a lame duck.
		Street's $270 million Neighborhood Transformation Initiative is basically old-school urban renewal -- Frank Rizzo ran for mayor in 1971 with a plan to demolish the city's abandoned houses -- with a smile and a mayor's unbounded self-confidence.
		Should the next mayor want to define himself in response to his predecessor, as Street has, it is unclear what he or she would do.

		John F. Street is turning the emphasis to his experience.
		The final ads of the mayoral campaign are on television - and on and on and on - and they help point out why John F. Street is in a tighter race than many had thought possible after he won the Democratic primary in May.
		"Where's Sam Katz been these last 19 years, while John F. Street was cutting the budget 15 percent, saving Philadelphia from fiscal collapse," begins the announcer, as the camera zooms in on an empty chair behind the nameplate "Sam Katz."

	Street Fails to Sway Gay Audience
		Street, who as City Council president incurred the wrath of many members of the gay and lesbian community by coming out strongly against legislation to give domestic-partnership rights to the same-sex partners of city employees, noted that gay people were "very, very apprehensive about what's going to happen in a John Street administration."
		Street also antagonized some members of the audience when he commented on the concept that homosexuals have no choice about their sexual orientation.
		David Fair, a longtime gay activist who is working in the Street campaign, said after the meeting that the crowd was made up of "downtown gays" who are fixated on "sexy issues" such as gay marriage rather than more meaningful economic and health issues.

	Philadelphia Mayor John Street perseveres in probe's shadow (phillyBurbs.com)
		Suddenly, the powerful, sometimes arrogant John Street was on the ropes - dogged by reporters, hounded by federal agents, and forced to assert his innocence in the face of a mysterious probe the FBI refused to explain.
		Street's re-election campaign was temporarily derailed by the revelation of the FBI bugging, but his supporters went on the offensive, claiming that the probe was an attempt by a Republican-controlled Justice Department to disrupt the election.
		Street, 60, was born just outside the city on a farm with no electricity or indoor plumbing, but he left rural life, attending Oakwood College in Alabama and then returning to Philadelphia to work as a teacher and a street vendor before enrolling at Temple University's law school.

		Street's supporters contended it was evidence of a possibly racially inspired GOP plot to oust a Democratic mayor.

		It was the electronic bug found hidden in the ceiling of the mayor's office on Oct. 7 that overshadowed the campaign's final month and brought national attention to the race for mayor in the nation's fifth-largest city.

		Street was able to wrangle tens of millions out of Harrisburg to help fund the schools.

		The supervising Lieutenant explained to the Mayor and the violator, as the officers had previously done, the Department’s policy that signing the citation was not an admission of guilt but rather a promise to appear in court.

		The telephone survey done by the Center for Opinion Research at Millersville University also found residents nearly evenly split in their opinions of Street, a Democrat, and his Republican challenger, Sam Katz.
