Luke's messaging has a populist thing going, I'll give you that, but that's not a bad thing and I don't even like the words "hillbilly" or "hillbilly politics".

The Allegheny County Community Infrastructure and Tourism Board? Tourism funding for a retaining wall in Shaler? WTF! <BR/><BR/>I happen to know of a landslide instance last summer which deposited soil into Girty's Run, blocking the flow of water and lead to a house or two becoming nearly flooded on Walters Avenue - all of which occurring on private property. As I can recall, Shaler Township attempted to remove the material and the DEP stopped them due to the lack of permits. Shaler was then directed to Allegheny County Emergency Services, and I never heard anything more since then.<BR/><BR/>I am utterly fascinated that a tourism board has broadened their scope to include funding public works projects.
