| May 12, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, ACDC, Elections, Endorsements, Pittsburgh, Politics |
This is an update to two previous posts: Koch-ing Up a Storm and Opinion Askew. The machine is working and there’s proof.

Koch-ing Up a Storm
| May 10, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, Elections |
Pittsburgh City Councilman Jeff Koch has seen a lot of attention this week and none of it is good. On Tuesday, City staff on the “Redd-Up” crew were caught wearing tee shirts supporting Koch (see this article in the P-G, and this one).

I recently learned two important facts. 1. Eugene Zielmanski, District Judge for Wards 6 & 9, has an office in Lawrenceville, which he visits for approximately one-half day per week. If that. I understand he’s there reliably from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Tuesday mornings. 2. For the honor of having Zielmanksi in the…

| May 4, 2007 | Posted by insider under 2007 Primary, ACDC, Blogs, Elections, Endorsements, Uncategorized |
I was perusing the latest issue of the Democratic Propaganda rag the Democratic Digest and I came across an interesting piece of fiction printed towards the end of one of my new favorite publications. DNC/ACDC WALK DAY: Led by Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, the Pennsylvania Young Democrats and enthusiastic volunteers from several local campaigns, several dozen…

Last week the Trib published an article about the candidates for city council. It is a nice article that gives a run down ofeach candidate and a picture.

| 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.
