And trash, soda taxes & DROP

Posted: March 16, 2010

I'D LIKE to know if my trash-pickup day has been changed. For the last two weeks, my trash, which is scheduled to be picked up on Friday, has not been picked up until Saturday.

It can no longer be blamed on the snow. So, Mayor Nutter, you expect me to pay for this service when it can't even be collected on the scheduled day. Once again, let me know if my day has been changed!

LET'S PLAY "Philadelphia Taxpayer Jeopardy."

Answer: 22.5 million ounces

Question: How much sugary soda, taxed at 2 cents an ounce, would it take to cover Anna Verna's DROP payment?

Include the other Council members taking DROP, and this could be a whole category.
