The Street Years, in a Nutshell

The hapless current Philly mayor can't even raise shady 527 money right:

"Mayor Street tried to raise money for the group that's behind an ad attacking Michael Nutter, the front-runner in Tuesday's mayoral primary... Shawn Fordham, a paid consultant to the "527" group and a top adviser to Street, said yesterday that the mayor had made at least three telephone calls "a few days ago," soliciting money for the group, known as One Step Closer.

Street's spokesman, Joe Grace, confirmed that Street had made the fund-raising calls - though Fordham said no one Street had contacted agreed to donate...

In some cities, when the mayor calls, people listen. Not here, though.

Philadelphia Will Do also comments on Philly.com and its talking, floating Michael Nutter.
