Philadelphia, February 15, 2007 — At the Next Great City – Philadelphia forum tonight, it was clear that the crowd embraced mayoral candidate Michael Nutter as the obvious winner.
On a bitterly cold night Nutter drew warm applause from the crowd as he demonstrated the most comprehensive knowledge of the environmental challenges facing Philadelphia. Clearly, the crowd at the Academy of Natural Sciences agreed with his plans:
“Judging from the quality of applause alone, it seems Michael has the clearest most popular vision for the city,” said attendee Christopher Plant of Elfant Wissahickon Realtors. “Mike just feels right.”
Brett Mapp of Whole Food Markets agreed, saying “former Councilman Nutter had the most knowledge and he was the most prepared. And I also have to say that he was the funniest. In two words, he rocked.”
Mary Ellen Bennett felt that “Nutter made the best showing and was most responsive to the questions asked.”
In a press conference earlier in the day, Nutter released his sustainability policy that articulated his vision for a greener Philadelphia.
“I am committed to improving the quality of life for all Philadelphians and it was a pleasure to talk about the issues and ideas and what the future can hold for Philadelphia as the ‘greenest’ city,” said Nutter.
