Nothing against Jim Roddey, or Dan-O for that matter -- but we think it's now clear that we of Allegheny County really missed an opportunity, when we passed over Wacky Uncle Cyril for the post of "Grand High Commissioner." Woah, momma.On a related note, the Comet would like to apologize on behalf of the entire blurghosphere (save AntiRust) for not having mentioned the debacle at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. We must have been navel-gazing in the wake of the C-P cover story.
Let the record show: this is bad. And will get worse.
We were not entirely alone in our inattention; we refer you to yesterday's "report card" of public officials in the Trib. Still fresh, still spot-on.
That's it. See you on Sunday.
We had an admittedly oblique mention of the Covention Center troubles at 2pj here.
ReplyDeleteThe mayor has been incredibly absent on the convention center collapse.He has effectively turned over governance of any BIG issues to his senior partner Dan Onorato.The Pens,PAT and now this.
ReplyDeletePittsburgh Jack also has an entry on the convention center.

ReplyDeleteI don't think it's as much Luke having turned over governance of the big issues as much as it is Onorato jumping on them to steal the spotlight.
