For today’s Friday News Roundup, we’re looking at how City Hall found $50 million to avoid teacher layoffs, we’re discussing the aftermath of what one city councilmember described as police “brutality” in the gayborhood after Pride celebrations, and we’re analyzing the real political meaning behind District Attorney Larry Krasner’s unusual letter delivery to Mayor Cherelle Parker.
