Think of it as the ant and the grasshopper in Bizzaro World .

Or Pennsylvania.

Either works.

Gov. Ed Rendell announced , Sunday, that Pennsylvania taxpayers will give the City of Harrisburg a $4.3 million aid package so it can meet bond obligation payments, pay bills, and hire a financial advisor.

that woamn took over as mayor thinking for sure she would get her family and friends in there somehow

[screaminsunshine]

Should read. So it can bail out Government Employee Unions on the taxpayers dime.

Isn’t this the town that got sucked into a high priced garbage burner ?

My money bets that the “Financial Advisor” they hire will make over $130,000.

Just a bigger part of the problem.

[SF_Redux]

yes it is, about like Lake of the Oxarks peddeling drinking water

[DaveMSmith]

Yep — waste to energy IIRC. I suppose this is how green jobs turn out.

>>...and hire a financial advisor

I’d do it for much less, and I guaran-damn-tee you my “measures” would work better.

It's $850,000 as per the link :-)

"This Is Not A Bail Out"

Just repeating what they are saying on the WHP Harrisburg Radio Station.

My opinion: Union BailOut

[Tribune7]

For those who say it's not a bailout, would they be willing to bet that Harrisburg does somehow get money at its scheduled time that had been "expedited" to make this payment?

[Noamie]

$850K???????????? Oh....%$&$.

That town sucks so bad.
