It makes “the city” look even more ridiculous and inept to have hired such a person.

PPS and the City of Pittsburgh are separate governmental agencies. And from what I understand, city government doesn't really like PPS much at all.

I didn’t originally say it and why I put “the city” in quotes...and it doesn’t matter whether or not they like each other, it makes them look ridiculous and inept.

I saw him on Penn Avenue in Dowentown maybe a month or two after his hire. Being a ham, I said hello and welcomed him to Pittsburgh. He was cordial, but rather speechless, as if he didn't care, or couldn't at least fake diplomacy.

I think this is the beginning of a trend as it is quite clear things have become ridiculous since Trump became president. I can't blame her for the lawsuit and from what I see with my own eyes there will be more to follow over the next few years until the playing field becomes level again.

Oh and the democrats have lost the stronghold in the city due to the hard working labor folks becoming angry with their old party. There is a clear shift taking place and Pittsburgh is slowly becoming politically diverse. Give it a few more years.

Lol. There is literally not a single shred of election result evidence that is happening.... If anything, this city and county has only gotten bluer since 2012 as most larger sized American counties have....

Yes. Pittsburgh and Allegheny County bluer.

Suburban “collar” counties redder.

The full urban/rural polarization of the United States is almost complete!
