2 Ravenstahls on YouTube
| March 21, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, Elections, Government, Pittsburgh |
There are 2 Ravenstahl’s posting on YouTube these days. The Ravenstahl campaign, user name VoteforLuke, has been posting some video interviews of Luke, a very compelling piece about why he is running for mayor and some other clips on the issues. But wait, there is more…someone with just the user name Ravenstahl has also posted…
What happened to professionalizing Pittsburgh?
| March 20, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, Blogs, Elections, Government, Pittsburgh, Politics |
From the blog Three Rivers Fishing Report After reading the Admiral’s post on the mayor’s overdue tax abatement plan I decided to call up Bernie Lynch (Director of Grants and Development, a top cabinet member in the mayor’s office) to ask if there was a formal release date for the mayor’s plan. Someone answered Bernie’s…
Ravenstahl flys to NYC for midnight snack, misses community meeting
| March 20, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, Pittsburgh |
The Trib reports that Ravenstahl flew to NYC for a midnight snack and didn’t make it back to Pittsburgh in time for a meeting with Hill District community leaders. As much as Ravenstahl claims this was about campaign strategy, I am not really buying it. If it was campaign strategy, why was it a midnight…
what are committee endorsements worth?
| March 18, 2007 | Posted by andrea under 2007 Primary, Elections, Politics, Rant |
This comment from Jim Burn in an article in today’s Post-Gazette was just crying out for comment. Regarding Doug Shields’ decision to continue his race for city controller, Jim said: Committee people and Democratic voters need to ask the candidates themselves, ‘Why are you seeking the endorsement, and working so hard to get it, and then…

it doesn’t get more meta than this
| February 8, 2007 | Posted by andrea under 2007 Primary, Blogs, Elections, Pittsburgh, Politics |
Here I am blogging about the article in this week’s City Paper about Pittsburgh’s political blogs, and how they comment on articles in newspapers like the City Paper. It’s a little dizzying. I’m just not sure I understand how any of the recent activity on the blogs really constitutes news. Like, maybe there’s buzz being…
Ding Dong, Deer Creek is Dead- But Eileen Watt, Not
| February 1, 2007 | Posted by Vanna under 2007 Primary, Elections, Pittsburgh, Politics, Rant, Sustainable Development, Western PA |
For years now the ill-conceived Deer Creek Crossing retail project proposed for the Harmar area has threatened to be one of Allegheny County’s worse greenfield development projects. Late last week, it was announced that the project is no more. Three development companies later, all the potential anchor stores jumped ship (finally). Yet another reason for…
Committee endorsements and the Democratic Primary
| January 24, 2007 | Posted by andrea under 2007 Primary, Politics, Rant |
Word on the street is that Jim Burn, young forward-thinking Chair of the Democratic Committee of Allegheny County, is taking a particularly hard-line stance against independent thinking among committee members this year. Committee members are being put on notice that it’s not just possible, but likely, that they’ll be removed from their offices if they…

How many pictures of Luke Ravenstahl do we really need to see?
| January 12, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, Elections, Government, Pittsburgh |
What does that mayor of Pittsburgh look like? I’d love to see a picture of him, or two, or three, or… ok, actually, it’s eleven. I counted eleven pictures of our mayor on the front page. Geez. As a comparison, let’s look at other cities… – Chicago (www.cityofchicago.org), 1 picture of Daly, and his family basically…
