We need to find out exactly what's in your double-ellipsis.<br /><br />I have to believe we can identify at least two other cities in PA that this will impact much, much more negatively <i>than they currently believe or expect</i>, especially if we start factoring in revised asset valuations and actuarial data and get the rest of the real numbers. I think that those simple revelations could raise a valid specter of great risk and nasty surprises that are somewhat widespread, if we do our research on the rest of the Commonwealth very carefully. Plus, we haven't advanced quite all our pieces on the board yet.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-22769762980888100542009-08-31T10:40:42.476-04:002009-08-31T10:40:42.476-04:00Why would you assume that this hurts any other pla...Why would you assume that this hurts any other place in Pennsylvania?<br /><br />It helps some, it continues to help others, it doesn't matter to others, and it hurts Pittsburgh and ......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-41379184675502537872009-08-31T10:11:10.506-04:002009-08-31T10:11:10.506-04:00Dowd left after about 25 minutes, bringing it back...Dowd left after about 25 minutes, bringing it back down to four (Pedutes, Slields, Harris, Kraus).Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-32661291653765166472009-08-31T09:42:50.562-04:002009-08-31T09:42:50.562-04:00Ed - with all due sympathy for that, the mayor'...Ed - with all due sympathy for that, the mayor's political hamhandedness can't explain it all by itself.

They decided they wanted to keep the accidental Mayor, despite his glaring flaws. I don't know what Ravenstahl does when he goes to Harrisburg (although I could guess) but the best that seems to result from his visits is nothing. More often than not after he leaves the senators and representatives give negative quotes to the papers. I mean, Tom Murphy had bad relations with the State legislature, but that was due to his history and temper. But when Jim Ferlo is voting directly against the interests of the City, you know the State legislature has finally become fed up with Ravenstahl’s antics. And of course Zober does not help anything or anybody.EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.com
