Pittsburgh’s mayor pays up

February 25, 2011

The story:

Donning a long-sleeved Green Bay Packers Super Bowl shirt, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl spent Tuesday morning shoveling snow to fulfill his bet with Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt.

Ravenstahl shoveled the walkway in front of St. Rosalia Parish, the Greenfield, Pa., church attended by the parents of Packers coach Mike McCarthy. Later, he hung up a Packers flag in front of Pittsburgh’s City-County building.

Good for him. Hey, you lose a bet, you pay up. And while Illinois’ governor may not actually have welshed yet, he sure doesn’t seem to be paying up. And his bet is two weeks older, and included volunteering at a food bank.
