Bankrupt Harrisburg, Pa. cancels Christmas ...................................................... cbsnews.com Friday, October 21, 2011 cbsnews.com HARRISBURG, Pa. - Santa Claus isn't coming to town this year for Pennsylvania's financially struggling capital city — at least not to its annual holiday parade. City officials have canceled the Nov. 19 event because organizers were not able to raise enough money. The parade needed about $25,000 in financial support, but donations have fallen far short, parks director Brenda Alton told The Patriot-News of Harrisburg. "We had one letter of commitment and one verbal commitment," she told the newspaper. The city's traditional fireworks on New Year's Eve are also at risk, with a final decision a week or two away. Mayor Linda Thompson said she hopes the parade will return next year. The Harrisburg City Council filed a rare bankruptcy petition a week ago, and this week the Legislature passed a new law that will give Gov. Tom Corbett power to assume financial decision-making authority for city government.
