Each week at 7:10 AM, Akron mayor Dan Horrigan joins the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss the most pressing issues in the city. In the last year, most topics have revolved around the COVID-19 pandemic, but other offshoots from the virus have taken the headlines, as well, whether it is economic or socioeconomic-related.

One of those socioeconomic topics includes gun violence and homicides in Akron, which have seen a large spike since the beginning of 2020. Horrigan talked about what the city is doing to quell the violence spike, and how they plan to keep the concerned neighborhoods safe. The mayor also touched on some of the road projects and how local businesses have managed during the pandemic.
