Nice story from Oakland Planning and Development Corporation by way of Payday Report on the passing of Kim Fellner and her family's contribution to affordable single-family housing in Oakland. paydayreport.com/rip-kim-fell...
Shame on the Post-Gazette for exploiting the tragedy in Kerr County to score political points. It’s time for Pittsburgh Water to keep its promise to The Run and ensure that flooding in our neighborhood is fixed once and for all. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/PAP...

Thank you, Pittsburgh City Councilwoman Barb Warwick, for introducing legislation that would expand protections for the TLGBQIA+ community and move the city of Pittsburgh a step closer to decriminalizing sex work.

Stellar response from City Council Prez Lavelle to the PPG's call to cut critical violence prevention funds. Gun violence is a scourge on Pgh and this $ has been instrumental in reducing it. TY, Councilman for speaking out...so disappointing that you had to. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/PAP...

They always close ranks at the end of the day.
Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

In Pittsburgh, property owners are responsible for their sidewalk, which is tough for lower-income home owners.This is an innovative solution to helping fix critical sidewalk gaps. Glad to see Hazelwood up next. Thank you Pgh DOMI for seeing this important work through. www.wesa.fm/development-...

Billionaires don’t have a constitutional right to own your government. Today @khanna.house.gov and I unveiled the Abolish Super PACs Act to get money out of politics and restore democracy for, of, and by the people. We must make it harder for billionaires + corporate interests to buy our politics.
Please join us tomorrow, May 29 at Margaux to support Western PA Fund for Choice. bit.ly/Fund4Choice
The nurses at UPMC Magee provide essential care for our region's moms, babies and others. As a union, they will have a seat at the table, helping ensure care decisions are based on patient health, not hospital profits. What's good for nurses is good for Pgh and SW PA. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...
Love it when they say out loud what you knew all along. Hand over your park for our private shuttle road or forget about getting your flooding fixed.
Thank you to the residents who came out to demand that Pittsburgh Water (PWSA) reinstate funding for the Four Mile Run Stormwater project. After nearly 10 yrs and $8.7M spent on designs, it's time to deliver a solution to this devastating flooding once and for all. www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

Thank you, @gaineyformayor.com. What an honor to fight beside you for a kinder, more equitable city. It wasn't our night. But today we get up and keep doing the work to protect and uplift our most vulnerable residents and build a Pittsburgh for all.
We don’t need a mayor who feels entitled to the job. We need a mayor who has earned it. That Mayor is Ed Gainey. @gaineyformayor.com newpittsburghcourier.com?p=392200
💐Look! It's Mother's Day deja vu! Here's to all the families out there letting Mom do her thing...we love you so much! And don't forget to vote for @gaineyformayor.com on May 20! 💐

"Once I saw O’Connor’s ad claiming credit, I felt obligated to be transparent with the people of Pittsburgh: He didn’t lead on paid leave, he nearly derailed it." triblive.com/opinion/lett...
Some clarity for voters (and for @coreyoconnorpa.bsky.social) on how Pittsburgh spent its American Rescue Plan dollars. Link to the public record on final allocations. @gaineyformayor.com pittsburgh.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=...
“Real housing justice demands that we do both: remove outdated, exclusionary policies and put inclusive ones in their place,” Gainey said. “Inclusionary zoning ensures that affordability is built into every neighborhood, not just a few.” www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...
Whether it is building new, preserving units, winning LIHTCs, kick-starting our Land Bank, winning $600M for res conversions, or pushing simpler zoning & transit-oriented dev, @gaineyformayor.com has been laser-focused on keeping Pgh affordable for everyone. www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...
More affordable housing coming our way downtown! www.wesa.fm/development-...
Links to those archives here, if Corey's team would like to cross check. 🙂 www.ura.org/pages/board-... hacp.org/about/board-... www.pittsburghpa.gov/Business-Dev...
Bottom line: While others talk, Ed Gainey gets it done. Props to Peduto though for coming up with a catchy name... More info and how to apply here: www.ura.org/pages/OwnPGH

Did you know that after the collapse of the Fern Hollow Bridge the city of Pittsburgh created a brand new Bridge management program? It offers transparency on the status of every bridge, steps taken to repair and maintain, & timelines for most critical repairs? www.pittsburghpa.gov/City-Governm...
