NinetyNine’s Mayoral-Race Quotes-of-the-Day Quiz Vol. 4
There is quite a bit to examine with fewer than seven weeks before voters go to the mayoral-primary polls.
So much, in fact, that we here at NinetyNine have again decided to present the money quotes from recent stories in quiz form. (Don’t worry, the answers are tucked away down.)
Your answer options: former mayor Ed Rendell, current mayor Michael Nutter, big-money donor Joel Greenberg (American Cities PAC) and mayoral candidates Lynne Abraham, Jim Kenney and T. Milton Street Sr.
Good luck!

4) “Can you help me with my VCR?”
5) “He has no money so he’s going to subway stations every morning, every afternoon, just like I did, hoping that lightning strikes.”
