Can This City Be Saved?

Kevin Riordan has a fine column in the Philadelphia Inquirer about a South Jersey power broker and his apparently newfound interest in my hometown, Camden.
Here's part of what Kevin has to say:

"But Norcross is wrong to try to fob off responsibility for the city's situation on some abstract failures of a faceless "leadership" or "administration."

His political organization endorsed, financed, and essentially ran the campaigns of virtually every victorious mayoral, City Council, and school board candidate in the city for decades.

During which time Camden became ever smaller, poorer, and more desperate."
