Its not surprising that Ithaca would try to find an eco-friendly solution to its excess dog doo problem. The city has a long history of being a city on the cutting edge.Ithaca is the City of Evil.

I wonder if the bills coming out of Congress would qualify.

Well, they do it at zoos...but I think dogs carry a lot of parasites that can bother people, too.
Of course, that doesn’t stop me from kissing my dogs, LOL!

They’ve been turning dogpoop into cash for years in that town, and I’ll prove it: they’ve been paying Cornell’s professors. Next case.

So if Pittsburgh is the Steel City does this make Ithaca the S*&! City?

They will ask for an Obama Grant to get things going. They will pile up mounds and mounds of dog shit and start to let it ferment. Some of the do-gooders ' Gooders' as the guy in "V" called them, will take spades and pitch forks and churn the dog shit.
The SEIU will realize that the 'dog shit churners' aren't unionized and that they need protection. The tree huggers will complain the dog shit isn't natural (due to the 'processed' food fed to the dogs). They will demand a federal law to certify programs that certify the 'organic origin' of the dog shit - with endorsement from the SEIU. SEIU will require that Purina, Ole Roy and IAMBs be unionized.
The IRS will start to wonder "Just what in the hell taxes aren't these assholes paying?".....Obama (or his cronies) will start to demand kickbacks.....
Meanwhile, PETA will publicly outcry that "dogshit and dogs can't be abused and taken advantage of in this manner". The only remedy, according to the PETA spokesperson, will be the permanent installation of a PETA observor [paid] on every dog shit collection point and churning plant.

First we’ll need some funding for a study. Then some more for R&D. Then some money for marketing.
Since private enterprise won’t touch this will need some government grants.
This is the last time you’ll hear about this idea for another ten years.
How’s that solar powered library work out at night or does it close at sundown?

...tons of dog doo left behind by the roughly 50,000 canines that use the citys pooch park each year... I can't believe that many individual dogs in Tompkins County use the pooch park. They must be counting total visits and not accounting for the fact that most dogs visit more than once a year. Right?
