Vice Mayor Goode was a civil rights icon in the community and in the history of the City of Phoenix. We must do better. As the chair of the Public Safety and Justice subcommittee, I am working closely with Phoenix Police to find the parties responsible for this and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.</span>
