Corsall pledges to abide by court ruling while denouncing police chief power as undemocratic. He cites ties between Chief Reed and city Republican leaders, says council 5 to 3 vote failed to revert authority to the commissioner, and vows to push democracy, efficiency, and civilian checks on the police.
