Philly Mayor Nutter A Deadbeat?

Yes & No

According to 'The Daily News' the mayor fell behind on his gas bill. As a consequence the city sent him a cutoff notice and placed a lien against his house back in May of this year (2013).

The mayor responded to 'The Daily News'--- "The bill is paid. Nothing happened. There's no story here." In Philly the gas company (PGW) is city owned and the mayor has expressed an interest in selling it. Because of that, the union isn't very pleased with him. Is this a case of 'payback's a bitch' or has he been so busy running the city and it's finances that he neglected several notices when it came to his own?

While I suspect it's the latter, what really pisses the mayor off is he considers this a personal matter that shouldn't have been leaked to the press.

While there sure seems to be a lot of leaking going on these days it also can be said, people who live in glass houses...

Nutter swears to crack down on delinquent taxpayers

"There are some other trifling, raggedy people around here who can actually pay, who don't pay. We're going to chase their little asses down as hard as possible."
