He can't be too concerned - I saw him at the Pens game in front of me last week fighting with some girl over her phone for part of the 3rd period & then again at Fatheads on Monday night.

Maybe there will be a navy blue dress some girl didn't take to the dry cleaners.

Sounds like a class act.

Geez, what an idiot. I'm not sure who is more guilty - him or the idiots who enable and reward such bad behaviors.

I wonder if he has a mental disorder of some kind, like a personality disorder. Psychopath? Narcissistic? Borderline? Or, one that is frequently associated with the others: Politician?

He seems to have entitlement issues, but many young people today have that problem.

I don't know much about him, but here are the behavior characteristics of each for anyone who wants to try to figure it out.

Mayor Luke is definitely a jagoff, but no one can deny that Pittsburgh under his rule has done pretty well during the bad economic times.

I'd rather have a mayor with a bit less class yet produces results, than a real class act that sees the ship of state sink.

In general I agree with this statement, but I likewise can't think of anything he's specifically done to usher in any of the positives that the region is experiencing. More of just being there for the ride - though have to give some credit i suppose for him not interfereing - but I have to think that a higher bar for leadership then that should be sought for our leaders.

I like a good scandal. I don't care whose scandal it is.

Ravenstahl's home renovations linked to Pittsburgh city contractor - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The PG is probably going out of its way to find stuff on him at this point, but it's shady nonetheless. I wouldn't normally comment on a person's house, but I think it's safe to assume he could have bought something a little nicer - what taste!

Looks like there was more clear cutting on Mt. Washington over the winter - maybe the City will need that contractor's services again by the end of the year.

Hmm, I'm no P.I. Tell the bloodhounds at the PG to get some better material asap...message board prowlers and bloggers everywhere are waiting for hardworking investigative journalists to break stories so they can add commentary!
