PHILADELPHIA — Terrill Haigler, a former city sanitation worker who gained Instagram fame under his alter ego "Ya Fav Trashman," ended his campaign for Philadelphia City Council this week, telling his thousands of social media followers he did not get enough signatures to appear on the ballot.
But behind the scenes, financial problems plagued his short-lived campaign.
Haigler hasn't paid his staffers, used campaign funding for personal expenses in a possible violation of Pennsylvania law, and could face penalties from the city's Board of Ethics for failing to account for the money.
