Call Up Willie! We’re Gonna Solve This City Budget Crisis Farm-Aid Style!
No, seriously, this is an idea that has been floated. Only at the Philly FarmAid — Phil-Aid? Phwe Are The Phworld? Rockystock? — instead of hillbillies hoisting their toothless kids on their shoulders, swaying in unison to the sweet dulcet sounds of John Cougar Mellencamp, we’ll have Fishtown hilbillies… hoisting their toothless kids on their shoulders, swaying in unison to the sweet dulcet sounds of Patti Labelle. And then forcing to the City to spend whatever funds were raised cleaning up Arctic Splash cartons afterwards.

This was a question Nutter answered this morning during a weekly KYW 1060 ask the mayor session. He wasn’t totally dismissive of the idea but gave an “uh, we’ll look into that one” answer. He suggested it would require way more effort than any money earned would justify. Probably true but an interesting idea.
Debt-stock anyone?
