Dan Gross: Nutter: I paid that 17 bucks

By Dan Gross

"I GAVE HIM a twenty, and he gave me three dollars back," Mayor Nutter told us Friday night in reference to Tom Caramanico.

Caramanico, board chair of the Friends of Independence National Historical Park, wrote in his group's newsletter that Nutter owed his group $17 from a January ceremony dedicating People's Plaza on Independence Mall. While Nutter spoke with Caramanico, who presented a $268,983 check to the Independence Visitor Center Corporation, Nutter said: "Tom, I'll give you the $17 and you make this check an even $269,000." Caramanico says he was looking forward to receiving the money, but Nutter told us it's already been paid, and he told Caramanico to make sure to clear that up in his next newsletter.

We caught up with Nutter in the atrium of City Hall where Philadelphia Style magazine celebrated its relaunch. Philadelphia Soul owner Jon Bon Jovi, who graces the mag's cover, was there briefly and snuck out avoiding reporters and photographers because one of his kids was singing somewhere, we were told. Local actor Jarrod Spector, who's on Broadway in "Jersey Boys," performed.
Also in attendance were NBC 10's

Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz, Bill Henley and Dawn Timmeney; CBS 3's Doug Kammerer; Fox 29's Jennaphr Frederick; 102.9 WMGK's John DeBella; Chickie's & Pete's owner Pete Ciarrocchi, and attorney Chuck Peruto. So was Dana Spain-Smith, who sold the magazine to New Yorker Jason Binn's Niche Media in February. Binn looks forward to promoting more events in the city.
Nutter had earlier been at a fundraiser for Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown. State Sen. Vincent Hughes and state Rep. Tony Payton Jr. were part of the event, hosted by radio DJ Doug Henderson Jr.
