blame on the bottle tax, a claim the mayor disputed. in philadelphia, the container tax would not include alcohol, milk, baby products, or fountain drinks burks targets more than the sugary stuff. >> what do you see to people who don't want to pay anything more at all? >> nothing is free in america, everything comes with a price. >> reporter: it's important to point out here that the idea of universal pre-k it's not up for daetd here. people do agree with that. the issue is how to pay for it. i reached out to the city baltimore to see what their experience with this has been, and they tell me that it raises $10.4 million every year, but they have smaller tax of 5 cents, and it has other differences now, the councilwoman proposing this estimates in philadelphia it would raise $64 million. the mayor, though, says it is not enough.

related bills for the run for mayor, but told a mayor, fattah did not pay all campaign related bills, and said he never paid him for work he did on the campaign and pestered the congressman for the $95,000 he was owed. >> only after the campaign ended, he said he dbt have the money, and they created a plan for a nonprofit and sere millions and scored a project call the blue guardian. he says he started to go through with the plan, and eventually backed out, and, again, pushed the congressman to repay the debt. now, defense attorneys asked him multiple times if flrp any texts, e-mails, letters, anything to link this nonprofit or the loan to the congressman, and he repeatedly said all the conversations with the congressman were verbal. to shield the conman from all of
