Pittsburgh government are a bunch of little tyrants that need stopped.
Very good reporting. I don’t blame the politicians. This has been a good deal for the Penguins. That they get ownership of the developed properties is excellent for them. They should get on with the development. It would be better for them and better for the city.
I hope they apply for the extension. Perhaps if they can work to be viewed as good actors they could negotiate a longer extension with a maybe lower monthly cost.
High quality work here, Dan. Appreciate the insight as to what's going on.
Hope you enjoy the season.
Allegheny county and COP politicians are all cronies and have done zero to fix this city in decades.
Pittsburgh needs another concert venue like it needs another 40 years of liberals running things. How many concert venues are enough??
What the heck? Well that escalated quickly. We went from casually talking about a potential Penguins sale to politicians threatening land seizures. O.k.
