Here was the initial pitch: "In honor of Earth Day, we're rolling up our sleeves, putting on gloves & cleaning up waste along Observer Highway. Even donating an hour of your time can really make a difference."
My Comment: This is reminiscent of WPA projects done during the Great Depression to cleanup the country side as well as create jobs. First Peter quotes Lincoln in his Mayoral announcement and now he emulates FDR is this worthwhile effort to clean up the streets. I participated not as a supporter of his ticket but in the spirit of this good cause. It naturally begs the question of why this stretch of Highway can't be maintained better on a consistent basis.
