B
Good
morning
and
welcome
on
this
very
frigid
day
to
Pittsburgh
City
Council
Standing
Committee,
meeting
of
Wednesday
January
30
of
2019,
as
always,
our
first
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
Members
of
the
public
who
want
to
address
us
on
this
frigid
day,
you'll
be
giving
three
minutes.
Y'all
like
means
their
top,
has
begun.
Yellow
light
means
one
minute
summarize
red
light
means
your
time
as
the
spire.
Please
relinquish
the
podium
start
off
with
your
name
and
city
neighborhood,
yeah.
C
Happily,
for
you
guys,
I,
don't
want
to
talk
about
guns
and
I,
don't
want
to
talk
about
the
affordable
housing
fund.
The
two
most
polarized
issues
that
have
combined
lately
but
I
do
want
to
talk
about
crime
and
I.
Do
want
to
talk
about
affordability
for
two
reasons.
One
is
I,
think
they're
linked,
and
the
other
is
that
Pittsburgh
was
in
the
80s.
When
we
got
one
place
is
rated
almond
act.
We
had
the
lowest
crime
rate
of
the
hundred
largest
cities
and
we
were
the
most
affordable
of
the
hundred
largest
cities.
C
This
wasn't
always
true.
In
1906,
we
were
second
to
New,
York
City
in
the
highest
rents
and
we
had
extremely
high
crime,
and
we
had
terrible
government
corruption
that
got
resulted
in
the
whole
city
council
system
being
scrapped,
and
then
they
passed
a
thing
called
land
value
tax
which
made
it
very
expensive
to
sit
on
vacant
land
and
relatively
cheap
to
improve
the
land,
because
the
tax
was
lower
on
the
improvements
in
higher
on
the
land
and
we
gradually
became
more
and
more
affordable,
didn't
have
any
housing
bubbles.
C
Even
in
the
depression,
we
didn't
have
housing
bubbles.
Our
land
value
fell,
nine
percent
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
It
fell
11
percent
in
DC,
which
was
the
boom
town
of
the
depression.
It
fell
between
45
and
65
percent
in
others,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
we
hadn't
inflated
in
the
first
place,
because
people
were
not
speculating
on
Pittsburgh
land
or
if
they
were
speculating
that
get
a
little
bit
of
land
and
improvement
and
prove
it
to
generate
the
revenue
to
pay
the
land
value
tax.
C
So
we
constantly
rolled
with
the
punches
and
we
had
very
stable,
very
affordable
housing
prices
all
that
time
and
we
continued
with
that
until
2000,
when
the
county
sabotaged
the
land
assessments
and
we
abandoned
the
land
value
tax
in
2000
and
we're
now
having
our
first
housing
bubble
and
it's
a
serious
bubble.
One
of
the
reasons
it's
serious
is
because
we
had
such
a
good
reputation
for
never
having
a
crash
that
all
the
people
in
other
city
said
Pittsburgh's
a
great
place
to
invest.
C
They
didn't
know
why
we're
the
great
place
to
invest,
and
they
didn't
know
why
we
are
no
longer
the
great
place
to
invest,
because
we
we
get
those
bubbles,
just
like
everybody
else,
No.
So
I
would
like
to
see
us
look
at
trying
to
get
the
county
to
reassess
the
land
values
which
is
eight
of
the
nine
council.
Members
said
in
2000.
We
would
have
never
left
this
tax,
if
not
for
the
terrible
assessments
that
we
got
for
the
county.
C
D
Her
name
is
Yvonne
Brown
I
live
in
the
hill
and
I
wanted
to
say
to
my
last
speaker:
I
was
saying
to
myself,
he
speaks
very
well
doesn't
it
speaks
very,
very
well
and
it
seems
like
he
knows
a
whole
lot
of
what
he's
talking
about
because
he
can
put
the
numbers,
but
I'm
I
don't
agree
with.
This
is
the
reason
because
of
your
statement.
I
don't
agree
with
that.
But
that's
why
we're
supposed
to
be
here,
so
we
can
get
all
sides.
I
wanted
to
say.
I
went
to
the
meeting.
D
I
went
to
that
that
at
this
that
farce
did
you
took
it
started
because
it
shouldn't
have
been.
It
could
have
been
up
here.
All
the
years
I've
been
here,
they
said
the
difference
was
we
have
200
here
to
35
before
to
35
people,
you
put
the
handicap,
you
just
throw
them
aside.
We
can't
go
to
the
bathroom
that
was
the
farce
and
I,
keep
telling
you
and
I,
and
you
don't
seem
to
understand
that
you
are
a
businessman
and
that's
the
way,
you're
trying
to
run
this
government,
but
you
can't
do
it
see.
D
I
worked
for
the
state,
I
was
a
caseworker,
I
saw
how
rules
were
done
and
you
change
them
anytime.
You
feel
like
it,
but
please
forgive
me.
I
didn't
mean
to
go
off
like
that.
You
see
this
picture
here.
It
has
Cody,
Murphy
I
stood
beside
that
young
lady
and
we
talked,
and
we
really
did
and
I
want
to
say
to
the
mirror
that
you
always
you
have
your
young
people.
You
have
your
groups
that
you
pick,
but
we
never
know
who's
who
but
I'm
saying
to
you
mayor.
D
If
you
have
another
committee
with
young
people,
please
pick
this
young
lady,
please
this
woman,
this
young
woman.
If
she
has
a
lot
of
insight,
we
said-
and
we
talked
she
said
just
mention
we're
just
talking
and
I
mean
it.
Don't
you
don't
have
to
listen
to
me,
but
please
try
to
listen
to
somebody
that
doesn't
know.
Plus
he
was
a
lady.
We
talked
about
her
mother
being
killed.
He
was
a
bunch
of
people
over
there,
bunch
of
men.
She
talked
about
her
mother
being
and
they
couldn't
even
look
at
her.
D
They
Buddha
Buddhist
lady,
but
when
she
went
past
I
did
grammar
and
I
did
hug
her
and
say
god
bless
you
because
she
said
she
was
speaking
for
her
mother
cuz.
Her
mother
was
dead,
even
though
you
think
you
men
and
whoever
think
that
we
should
be
entitled
to
have
a
gun.
That
shoot
can
shoot.
50
bullets.
We
don't
need
it
I
keep
saying,
send
it
over
there
to
the
war,
not
in
our
area.
We
can.
We
can
stop
it.
You
you,
you
know
what
the
problem
is.
D
You're
scared
now,
because
the
young
boys
got
these
guns,
but
at
one
time
we
couldn't
have
guns,
you
understand
we
wasn't
allowed
to
have
guns.
Now
they
got
him
and
you
let
them
have
it
I
told
you
two
minutes
saying
they're
selling
they
came
47
Don't,
Tell,
City,
Council,
I
came
down
and
told
you
I
mean
miss
Karl
Mao
came
to
that
movie.
Even
mr.
Canfield
didn't
come,
please
take
it
to
Harrisburg,
like
you
did
to
the
police
review.
Take
your
bill
to
Harrisburg.
E
E
The
future
of
the
city
is
going
to
be
determined
by
what
is
being
done
on
major
infrastructure
projects
that
City
Council
needs
to
weigh
in
on
right
now
we
have
the
landside
terminal
at
the
airport
being
torn
down
and
the
idea
of
replacing
it
when
that
airport
was
built
and
started
planning
back
in
the
80s
Tom
Forester
announced
that
that
was
to
be
a
second
downtown.
Well,
the
region
hasn't
been
able
to
support
that
with
a
declining
population.
E
The
thing
is
back
in
the
80s.
We
had
an
opportunity
or
excuse
me
in
the
90s,
we
had
an
opportunity
to
take
the
money
from
the
airport
bus
way,
which
used
all
of
its
money
on
half
the
project
and
have
rapid
rail
connection
between
Steel,
City
or
Steel
Plaza,
and
the
airside
terminal,
which
ten
minutes
away
would
have
been
closer
than
being
in
the
parking
lot
of
the
airport
itself
to
your
plane.
Right
now,
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
with
the
BRT,
which
is
purely
to
subsidize
real-estate
speculation
in
the
Uptown
area.
E
We
need
to
start
thinking
in
terms
of
applying
that
money
toward
having
at
rapid
rail
connection
and
putting
the
landside
terminal
in
the
city
move
the
airport
into
the
city
that
way
effectively,
rather
than
moving
the
city
out
to
the
airport.
What
happens
with
this
is
something
that's
a
major
impact.
It's
going
to
affect
the
region
for
decades
to
come.
E
E
We
have
county
executive
and
county
council
races,
as
well
as
city
council
races
to
step
forward
and
take
up
something
that
is
extremely
important
on
the
future,
not
just
to
those
who
are
flying,
but
also
to
the
poor
who,
with
their
jobs
out
there
would
have
to
abandon
the
city.
So
if
you
want
to
run
for
office,
you
can
contact
me
at
run
at
open,
Pittsburgh,
org
and
I'd
be
happy
to
help.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Motionless.
L
L
I
did
get
a
call
from
the
director
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
so
thank
you
actually
talked
about
the
assistant
director
and
the
director
last
night
and
I
just
want
to
touch
on
a
few
items.
I
do
understand
that
this
was
passed
originally
in
2015,
and
so
we
had
this
long
conversation
about
it.
Last
night
and
I
said
you
know
she
asked
me
brightly
well,
what's
changed
I
said.
L
Actually
there
are
things
that
have
changed
since
2015
right
in
2015,
we
were
I
think
not
facing
in
my
district
as
much
pressure
for
pedestrian
and
bike
safety,
as
we
are
now,
and
especially
around
the
roads
that
PennDOT
owns
like
Forbes
in
Oakland.
It
was
my
constituent,
susan
hicks,
who
was
struck
by
vehicle
and
killed,
and
then
there
was
a
year-long
struggle
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
make
those
changes
on
the
pendent
road
and
council.
L
When
I
know
that
you
understand
what
I'm
saying,
because
it's
exactly
because
you
want
changes,
dependent,
wrote
in
your
district
that
the
the
is
the
what's
happening
for
the
bill,
and
so
then
I
asked
well.
Why
do
we
have
to
swap
right
so
why?
Why
is
this
a
quid
pro
quo?
Why
do
why
do
we
had
to
give
PennDOT
Street
that
they
don't
currently
have,
and
that
could
potentially
make
it
more
difficult
to
make
the
changes?
L
We
want
in
a
very
highly
densely
populated
part
of
again
the
convergence
of
friendship,
because
somebody
in
Shadyside-
and
there
really
wasn't
a
great
answer
for
that,
so
it
was
like
well
so
that
we
keep
the
total
miles
kind
of
zero
and
I
was
like
okay.
Why
do
we
have
to
do
that
like
what?
How
much
of
a
cost
is
it?
Is
it
like
a
dollar
a
year?
Is
it
a
million
dollars
a
year?
L
Then
there's
a
there's
a
there
is
a
more
complicated
question
at
this
bomb
and
center
intersection,
which
is
that
PennDOT
desires
to
have
it's
kind
of
continuous
routing,
and
so
this
is
a
place
because
we
took
back
part
of
the
Pens
circle
pieces
and
I'm,
not
exactly
I.
Don't
have.
That.
Was
that
exact
time
in
front
of
me
that
this?
These
are
the
replacement
pieces,
that
PennDOT
desires
and
I
say
the
word
desires
because
I'm
not
sure
that
it's
required
so
I,
just
I'm,
not
gonna,
obstruct
this
one
I
do
understand.
L
This
is
something
we
voted
on
in
2015.
This
is
honestly
this
week,
just
a
technical
amendment
to
change
specific.
You
know
square
feet.
You
know
it's
literally
just
changing
a
little
bit
of
square
feet,
but
I
do
think.
We
should
keep
that
conversation
for
me.
She
she
she
made
me
somewhat
relieved
that
PennDOT
itself
is
moving
forward
at
the
state
level
in
urban
PennDOT
Street
technical
manual,
so
that
it
would
be
different
than
you
know:
rural
highway
PennDOT
technical
mango,
which
is
kind
of
what
we've
been
fighting
with
them
about.
L
L
If
five-year-olds
have
to
cross
that
street
to
get
to
school
in
the
morning-
and
certainly
we
know
there
are
lots
of
people
and
it's
very
densely
populated
with
pedestrians-
and
you
really
don't
want
it
to
be
engineered
like
a
highway,
because
you
don't
want
people
to
die.
So
thank
you
for
the
moment.
I
just
wanted
to
say
why
I
was
questioning
it
last
week.
I
understand
that
you
know
this
is
one
that
we're
just
changing
from
four
years
ago.
L
I
certainly
feel
your
pain
in
your
district,
about
dealing
with
PennDOT,
but
in
the
future,
I
think
it's
where
the
conversations
say
do
we
really
need
this
many
miles
on
the
you
know,
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Transportation
that
are
inside
the
city,
all
right.
So
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
K
I
just
want
to
say
I
do
share
your
concerns,
a
lot
with
with
PennDOT,
but
I
think
that
we
should
have
a
conversation,
maybe
even
the
post
agenda,
but
first
we'll
have
a
conversation
and
with
PennDOT
we've
had
before,
but
there's
new
leadership.
There
are
new
new
administration,
somewhat
re-elected
in
some
and
some
form
on
the
state
level,
but
I
think
also
talking
to
our
elected
officials
here
on
the
state
level.
K
When
you
know
the
Allegheny
County
elected
officials
put
on
the
state
level,
our
state
reps
or
senators,
and
talked
to
them
about
the
importance
of
working
with
us
and
what
we
want
to
see
to
me,
one
of
the
most
disturbing
things
that
we
cannot
do
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
to
set
our
own
speed
limits.
And
to
me
you
know
the
fact
that
somebody
setting
a
speed
limit
in
Harrisburg
for
a
street,
and
you
know
a
little
s
fun
that
they
may
have
never
seen
before.
K
K
K
You
know
it's
a
cyclist
enthusiasts,
who
may
not
be
long
to
buy
Pittsburgh
that
you
know
we
really
want
to
build
a
great
infrastructure
in
terms
of
you
know,
bike
infrastructure,
but
we
need
to
address
our
current
infrastructure
needs
and
then,
let's
come
up
with
a
really
great
plan
to
make
safe.
You
know
bike
trails
for
everyone,
I
think
we
probably
could
have
came
up
with
some
really
great
things.
I
think
the
pressure
to
complete
trails
and
to
do
things.
K
Obviously,
someone
was
killed
there,
but
we
do
have
a
trail
that
goes
up
and
over
the
entire
strength,
the
length
of
it
and
so
I
think
that
would
be
something
that
would
be.
You
know
some
way
that
we
could
really
connect
our
trails
and
do
some
really
great
things
and
Henry
in
the
mayor's
office
has
been
doing
great
work,
including
walking
the
trails
himself
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
help.
K
We
can
put
something
in
place
there,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
have
this
meeting
and
have
some
conversations
with
PennDOT
and
I'm
happy
to
schedule,
because
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
we
could
be
doing
differently,
including
setting
our
speed
limits
working
on
safety
on
our
roads
that
we
do
have
concerns
with
in
our
area.
The
state
has
a
lot
of
roads
in
our.
K
So
we're
torn
between
so
many
obstacles
in
our
district
between
the
county
state
and
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
and
other
private
roads
that
I
think
municipalities
I
think
that
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
conversation
with
penned
on
how
we
can
do
what's
best
for
our
area
and
hopefully
give
it
a
little
bit
more
authority
in
making
our
roads
safer
pedestrians,
motorists
and
cyclists.
So
I'll
schedule
that
meeting.
We.
K
M
Have
to
we
have
to
I,
didn't
realize
that,
for
you
know
at
the
time
last
week,
but
that
it's
it
is
state
law
that,
if
we
are,
you
know
giving
if
we
are
taking
some
roads
from
PennDOT
that
we
have
to
give
an
equal
amount
back
to
them.
I
don't
wish
to
give
any
more
roads
to
PennDOT
I
wish
that
we
could,
you
know,
keep
the
roads
that
we
have
and
because
we
have
more
flexibility
than
to
you
know,
initiates
Street
design,
changes
and
do
what
we
need
to
on
the
on
the
streets.
M
But
you
know
until
that's:
fixed
I,
don't
know
what
the
alternative
is,
and
that
leads
me
to
an
initiative
that
I've
been
working
on,
not
an
initiative.
A
will
of
Council
I've
been
working
on
with
my
staff
and
now
in
conversations
with
domi
about.
There
are
a
number
of
state
laws
that
prohibit
the
city,
municipalities
across
the
state
from
doing
things
on
traffic
and
mobility
and
safety
and
pedestrian
safety
and
bike
safety.
M
K
You
because
I
just
add
also
that
if
it
sounds
great
to
take
back
all
our
roads,
but
the
money's
got
to
come
from
somewhere,
and
so
you
know
we
have
to
have
our
priorities
and
if
Penn
does
gonna
pay
for
some
of
the
things
that
they're
they're
taking
then
great
and
I
mean
I
can
tell
you
they've
done
jobs
in
our
area
that
we
couldn't
afford
to.
Do.

Warning
Mike,
your
state,
your
name
and
what
office
okay
under
public
works
a
second
page
at
the
bottom.
It's
the
second

up,
yeah.
O

O

A
H
O
B
Other
questions,
no
questions,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay
that
takes
us
back
to
the
law
and
Finance
Committee,
which
I
believe
is
that
would
be
bill
1304,
which
is
on
the
table.
We
have
someone
from
the
law
department.
If
you
please
come
through
the
table.
Miss
Harris
has
the
floor.
Please
start
off
with
your
name
and
position.
N
N
N
Okay
yeah,
the
PennDOT-
has
also
settled,
as
has
the
PWSA.
The
PWSA
is
going
to
be
doing
some
additional
testing
in
the
area,
but
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
doesn't
own
any
of
the
facilities.
We
don't
own
the
road,
what
we
don't
own
Perry's
for
Avenue,
that's
a
slight
highway
and
we
don't
own
the
pipes.
Okay,.
N
Way
out,
the
state
is
settling
as
well.
They
settle
I,
believe
I,
believe
their
settlement
amount
was
$20,000,
okay
and
the
PWSA
is
also
paying
$20,000,
but
the
PWSA
will
also
be
doing
additional
testing
in
the
area.
Pwsa
had
done
some
exploratory
testing
when
the
lawsuit
was
originally
filed.
Well,
even
before
the
lawsuit
was
filed
and
couldn't
find
any
leaks
in
their
lines,
so
they're
going
to
go
further,
try
to
look
in
their
own
lines
and
then
also
see
if
they
can
find
something
from
the
sewer,
laterals
and
private
properties.
Okay,
so.
N
P
P
So
so
you
know,
maybe
we
can
get
together
you've
on.
Apparently
these
things
held
up
in
court.
This
building
needs
to
come
down
desperately
it's
wide
open.
Again,
people
are
running
in
and
out
of
there
somebody
bought
the
mortgage.
That's
in
some
legal
mess
so
can
we
would
ever
meet
and
talk
about
putting
this
forward.
Is
it
the
old
school
building?
It's
the
old
school
building,
st.
Basil's.
It's
it's!
It's
just
a
haven
right
now
for
a
lot
of
bad
things
and
we
need
to
take
care
of
it.
P
We
met
about
six
months
ago,
or
so
you
Vaughn
wasn't
there,
but
apparently
it
was
in
court
and
we
were
gonna
hear
about
it
within
30
days
and
I
haven't
heard
anything
since
so
you.
N
P
P
A
full
house
here
so,
okay
I,
can.
P
K
The
comments
that
you
were
making
about
the
private
property
and
it's
being
a
problem-
I'm
just
wondering
and
I,
don't
want
any
answer
now:
I,
don't
want
to
burn
labor
the
conversation.
What
legally
can
be
done
in
terms
of
Public
Safety
in
turn,
either
eminent
domain
or
taking
the
property
and
demolishing
it
whatever
I
just
think.
You
know,
we
need
to
think
outside
the
box
of
how
we're
handling
some
of
these
properties,
and
sometimes
you
see
other
municipalities
all
around
us
doing
things
that
we're
not
able
to
do.
K
K
You
know,
obviously
your
restore
and
renovate,
but
we
have
some
that
really
then
they'll
never
be
able
to
be
restored,
and
so
the
reason
it
we
have
taken
such
a
step
back
in
terms
of
demo
was
because
the
cost,
because
the
county
or
state
had
told
us
that
we
had
to
dispose
of
asbestos
better
than
what
we
had
been
and
that
there
was
so.
It
really
escalated.
The
cost
from
around
eight
thousand
dollars
to
over
thirty
to
fifty.
In
some
cases
it
depending
on
the
property
yeah.
H
K
Yet
I
noticed
in
Crafton
borough,
they're
still
demolishing
property
for
five
eight
thousand
dollars
and
I.
Don't
know
how
they're,
following
if
they're
following
the
same
guidelines
but
I,
think
it's
only
if
you're
and
that's
why
people
compare
and
say.
Well
they
do
this
in
the
borough.
But
you
know
the
city
can't
do
that.
Well,
that's!
Why?
N
E
N
K
K
So
if
they
have
a
property
that
needs
demolished
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
they
own
a
house
in
Mount
Lebanon
or
some
percent
clear,
you
can
lean
their
property
in
Mount,
Lebanon
or
a
person
clear
their
personal
residence.
So
I
just
think
we
need
to
look
at
those
walls
and
really
start
using
them
and
implementing
them
in
ways
that
benefit
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
And
that's
all
say
it's
because
you
do
have
those
tools
available.
We
just
don't
use
them.
Thank
you.
The.
H
H
B
Remind
everyone
that
this
afternoon,
at
1:30,
an
executive
session
is
scheduled
relative
to
city
legal
matters,
also,
a
reminder
that
there's
a
cable
cast
post
agenda
discussion
originally
scheduled
for
next
Tuesday
February
5th
at
1:30.
It
has
been
canceled
any
motions
resolutions,
if
not
I
will
say
one
so
I
was
listening.
Obviously,.
B
I
was
listening
to
the
discussion.
Every
glass
etapas
I,
listened
to
the
discussion
of
state
law
right
and
does
my
district
is
very
different
right.
Very,
very
different
I
have
in
my
district,
if
you
go,
there's
almost
a
hidden
community
up
near
Frick
Park,
where
you
have
extraordinarily
expensive,
beautiful,
beautiful
homes,
right
beautiful
homes.
B
B
If
you
go
to
another
in
mind
which
is
Stan
Heights
part
of
it,
it
looks
suburban
right.
Their
number
one
concern
when
I
have
community
meetings
in
Staten.
Heights
is
deer
right.
Well,
we
the
state,
has
so
you
know
maiden,
you
know
we're
not
allowed
to
hunt
you
even
me.
I
mean
I
know
that
we
can't
hunt
in
the
city,
property
city
city.
Even
though
there's
a
part
two
you
can't
hunt
in
the
city
can't
can't
kill.
The
deer
can
feed
them,
but
you
can't
kill
him
right.
B
Would
in
the
world
in
the
city
limits?
Does
anyone
need
whether
it's
Homewood
or
Squirrel
Hill
or
Frick
Park
II?
Wouldn't
the
world?
Do
what
you
need
with
an
assault?
We
don't
do
it
right.
You
can
go
through
walls,
it
can
go
through
structures
right,
it
will
go
through.
It's
gonna,
stop
when
I
hit
something
what
what
in
the
world
and
I
listened
and
all
these
suburban
people
right
who
lived
nowhere
near
my
communities
who
have
no,
who,
on
a
normal
day,
I,
don't
even
think
drive
through
most
of
my
district
I
just
think
state.
B
We
have
legislators
in
Harrisburg
who
live
in
suburban
rural,
not
suburban,
many
of
them
rural
communities
right
there
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
urban
environment,
and
yet
they
are
obstacles
to
our
ability
to
make
our
city
safer
and
for
reasonable
and
and
something's
wrong.
Something's
wrong,
I
won't
get
into
the
specifics,
but
the
reason
that
I
am
so
you
know
for
me
is
very
simple
and
I'm
I'm
using
since
we're
all
here.
You
know
we
have
300
million
guns.
We
have
300
million
guns
that
kill
30,000
people
in
the
United
States
every
year.
B
Right,
more
guns,
you
have
the
more
people
that
are
killed.
That's
true,
that's
not
a
myth.
You
can
do
the
race,
it
worked.
If
you
have
more
guns
where
people
are
killed.
When
you
have
other
conversations,
if
you
want
to
stop
people
from
being
killed,
get
rid
of
guns
to
get
rid
of
guns.
You
get
rid
of
homicides.
I
am
proud
to
stand
with
a
custom,
inner
corner
and
Councilman
Strassburger
who
are
making
this
state.
This
stance
amiss
lots
of
criticism,
lots
of
criticism
and
all
the
years
I've
been.
B
B
B
Am
proud,
I
think
it
I
again,
I
didn't
say
that
I
think
that
council
president
cross
handled
the
meeting
with
dignity
and
with
deportment,
and
it
was
just
it,
made
us
safe
and
it
gave
everybody
their
opportunity
for
free
speech,
but
the
public
doesn't
know
is
that
we
are
actually
not
obligated
to
listen
to
people
from
the
suburbs.
If
you
are
not
a
resident
of
the
city
or
pay
taxes
to
the
city,
you
actually
have
no
right
to
give
public
comment
in
to
city.
B
K
B
That
I
simply
I
simply
want
to
say
that
I
think
and
I
know
that
the
governor
is
going
to
introduce
some.
Some
I
will
stand
by
my
comments.
All
all
deaths,
homicides,
suicides,
domestic
violence,
mass
shootings,
any
of
them
that
occur
with
guns-
should
be
prevented,
and
we
should
do
everything
in
our
power
to
to
prevent
and
to
reduce
number,
and
what
we
have
done
in
Council
has
made
a
moral
statement.
B
We've
made
a
moral
statement.
This
is
not
about
law.
There
are
times
you
know:
we've
had
slavery.
Legal
in
this
country,
we've
had
discriminations
about
against
the
LGBT
community,
which
were
unlawful.
We
had
marriage
discrimination,
which
was
on
what
we
we've
had
a
history
of
our
country
of
having
unjust
laws.
There
comes
a
time
that
people
of
good
conscience
must
stand
up
and
say
this
is
wrong,
and
if
that
becomes
troubling
okay,
you
know.
If
that
means
we
get
threatened,
which
we
all
have
been.
B
You
know
we've
had
some
ugly,
although
we
don't
say
it
publicly:
we've
gotten
ugly
emails
and
ugly
statements
from
people.
Okay,
there
comes
a
moment-
and
this
is
that
moment
right
where
the
majority
of
Council
may
mean
at
everyone,
but
the
majority
of
us
I
think.
Maybe
all
of
us
are
going
to
stand
up
and
say.
Hopefully
enough
is
enough.
We
have
you
know
for
me.
It's
this
week
right
I
had
two
shootings
in
Homewood
Monday
right,
I'm
gonna
have
more
right,
it's
gonna
happen,
it's
gonna
happen
every
month.
It's
not
gonna
happen.
B
You
know
it's
gonna
happen.
Every
month,
every
month,
someone
in
my
district
is
gonna,
get
shot
every
month
every
month
like
clockwork,
maybe
not
every
week,
but
every
month,
I'm
gonna
have
a
shooting
in
my
district
right
and
it's
gonna
be
some
illegal
Garden
in
some
kid
to
get
gun
from
some
suburban.
That
sordid
for
drugs
and
I
know
how
this
is
gonna
go
right,
it's
gonna
happen
every
month,
and
you
know
it's
gonna
be
some
of
them.
I
know
some
of
my
family
I'm
gonna
experience
that
so
I
have
I,
don't
know
I
I.
B
Guess
we
got
to
do
something
we
can't
let
this
occur
with
our
kids
die
and
people
getting
shot
and
the
state.
So
far
hasn't
done
nothing
to
help
us
so
I
stand
with
you
I
and
I.
Don't
I
get
I'm!
Sorry,
we,
since
it's
all
too
cold
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
I
stand
with
the
two
of
you.
I
thought.
What
you've
done
is
brave.
You
have
my
support
and,
and
we
will
see
what
the
end
will
be-
I'm
proud
of
what
the
council
has
done.
B
I
think
this
isn't
over
I
think
there'll
be
more
ugliness,
but
there
comes
a
time
that
will
you
stand
for
what
you
believe
in
and
even
if
it
causes
you
some
distress,
even
if
we
get
threats,
even
if
we
get
accosted
well,
I'll,
be
able
to
go
home
and
tell
my
children
not
yet
grandchildren.
Although
my
son
gets
married
in
June
right
I
get
to
tell
my
kids
that
their
father
stood
up
for
what
he
believed.
B
So
I
was
waiting
for
the
time
and
since
we're
here
on
a
cold
day,
right,
I
figured
I'd,
use
this
time
to
at
least
say
publicly
what
I
have
not
said
privately
I'm,
very
proud
of
our
president,
very
proud
of
Cory
and
and
and
sister
mistress
burger
for
what
she's
done,
I'm
very
proud,
Erica,
I'm,
proud
of
what
we've
done
and
and
and
we're
gonna
go
forward.
This
will
not.
We
will
not
stop.
This
is
just
the
beginning.
B
K
Just
say
that
well,
I
appreciate
the
concerns
and
I
do
want
to
say
you
know.
I
I
have
not
made
up
my
mind
to
how
I'm
gonna
vote
on
any
of
these
bills.
I
do
have
concerns
and
I've
said
that
very
publicly
one.
If
I
thought
it
was
going
to
stop
the
shootings
in
Homewood
that'd
be
a
different
story,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
the
guns
we
are
banning
or
not
or
suggesting
to
being
or
not
the
guns
that
are
killing
the
kids
in
the
african-american
community.
K
Quite
frankly,
matter
of
fact
they
are
the
guns.
The
guns
that
we
are
suggesting
that
we
be
in
are
the
ones
they're
being
arrested
for
having
so
they're
actually
being
disproportionately
affected
in
the
negative
way,
because
there
there's
more
arrests
in
the
african-american
community
and
the
immigrant
community
in
terms
of
the
guns
were
trying
to
be
in
than
any
other
community,
so
they're
disproportionately
affected
in
a
negative
way.
But
the
guns
were
that
they're
that
are
killing
kids
in
communities
that
are
struggling
or
not.
K
The
guns
we're
talking
about
the
and
I
think
people
don't
understand
a
lot
of
the
the
laws.
I
think
this
really
came
from
and
I
just
want
to
say
this
I
think
this
came
from
a
really
painful
place.
I
think
everybody
wants
to
see
something
done
after
the
shooting
at
the
synagogue,
a
tree
of
life.
I
think
everybody
wanted
to
see
something
some
response,
but
I
also
wanted
to
see
response
for
all
the
shootings
that
have
been
occurring
in
our
city
for
years,
and
we
have
had
a
response.
K
I
want
to
say
we
have
touted
that
gun
violence
is
down
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
We
had
you
know
people
our
chief
and
others
have
been
on
the
news
talking
about
the
efforts
that
you
and
and
Councilman
LaValle
and
the
mayor
have
really
put
some
funding
behind
and
supported
so
gun.
Violence
is
down
gun
violence
according
to
the
FBI,
is
down
across
the
country.
K
So
I
think
that
when
we're
making
these
cases
about
violence,
we've
actually
need
to
address
the
issues
that
are
really
underlying
and
I
think
the
gun,
violence,
law
and
the
and
everything
about
gun
violence
has
helped
the
Democrats
and
they
helped
the
Republicans
get
elected,
and
that's
who
they've
helped.
This
battle
has
never
really
trickled
down
to
help
the
people,
and
so
I'm,
not
here
just
to
pretend
and
just
to
play
politics
with,
especially
with
people's
lives.
I
have
concerns
I,
don't
want
to
take
away
people's
rights.
K
K
While
we
didn't
at
first
and
then
I
heard
some
things.
I
thought
there's
a
lot
of
politics
at
play
here,
but
I
don't
think
that
was
my
colleagues
intentions.
I
think
that
they
really
came
from
a
place
where
they
wanted
to
respond
to
their
community.
Who
was
hurting
and
our
city
was
hurting,
and
our
city
is
still
hurting
over
this.
It
is
not
it's
not
an
easy
answer
and
I
wish
that
this
would
be
the
solution
to
end
all
the
shootings
and
to
end
you
know.
K
The
shootings
in
either
occur
every
week
and
the
shootings
that
are
mass
shootings,
I
wish
it
were
I,
don't
feel
like
it
will
be,
and
so
I
do
have
some
concerns
and
I
really
wish
that
we
would
change
the
and
not
allow
our
the
federal
government
and
the
national
politics
determine
what
we
do
on
a
local
policy,
a
political
level
I
wish
we
would
all
sit
down
and
try
to
figure
this
out
in
a
way.
That's
reasonable,
legal
and
effective
and
I
really
wish.
We
do
real
results
for
our
residents.
K
I
mean
I
know
that
we
have
to
do
what
we
have
to
do
in
each
of
our
areas.
But
for
me
it's
I
want
more
than
anything.
I
want
results.
I'm
not
here
for
the
politics.
I
know
it
sounds
crazy
to
say
that,
but
I,
don't
if
I'm
here
tomorrow
great
if
I'm,
not
that's
great,
my
life
will
go
on
I
lived
50
years
before
I
ran
for
office.
So
for
me
it's
it.
Will
go
on
one
way
or
the
other
I
did
work
in
the
private
sector.
K
I
did
work
for
nonprofits
I
think
had
a
life
before
this
I
don't
have
a
life
after
this,
but
what
I
do
care
about
is
yielding
results
for
our
people,
but
I
want
to
say.
Having
this
open,
mind
does
not
mean
I,
appreciate
or
like
any
of
the
comments
and
things
that
I'm
seeing
directed
towards
my
colleagues
and
directed
towards
the
administration
and
the
mayor
and
I.
B
H
I
think
that's
woman,
Smith
said
quite
a
bit
on
on
what
I
would
say
on
on
this
issue
of
guns,
because
I
remember,
the
93
and
the
city
couldn't
do
anything
with
the
law
is
on
the
books,
because
it's
not
councils
to
be
able
to
vote
on
them
or
we
would
have
had
quite
a
few
lawsuits
and
we
would
be
paying
on
quite
a
bit
of
money.
And,
yes,
we
can
go
against
the
law
and
in
vote
on
things
which
are
not
ours
to
vote
on.
I.
K
H
We
have
to
be
careful
what
the
people
out
in
the
audience,
the
people
that
we
all
represent
sometimes
don't
know
the
difference
between
a
school
board
and
City
Council
in
the
state
and
the
federal
government.
They
think
that
any
of
us
can
deal
with
any
of
the
laws,
but
that's
not
true.
If
you
remember
the
piece
on
marijuana,
basically
only
give
a
$25
fine
decriminalizing
marijuana
that
this
council
voted
for
I,
think
it's
hurt.
I
H
H
So
a
lot
of
people
have
been
heard,
thinking
that
that
is
something
that
we
could
do
so
I
mean
I.
Think
one
of
the
best
things
we
could
do
is
try
working
with
the
state
on
issues
that
are
not
ours
to
vote
on,
and
you
said
that
nobody's
districts
like
yours,
well,
I
have
very,
very
expensive
homes,
so
my
district
I
had
middle
class
and
I
am
very,
very
poor,
so
I
don't
see
much
difference
between
your
district.
In
my
district.
E
B
B
B
B
H
H
I
H
Small
game,
so
that's
happening
out
there
too
I
end.
K
H
G
G
You
just
briefly
the
most
interesting
comments
for
me
from
our
public
hearing
last
week
actually
came
from
my
children
and
one
thank
you
all
for
making
them
feel
comfortable.
I
appreciate
that,
but
my
son
is,
we
were
coming
into
the
building,
and
rather
I
don't
think
you
were
here.
Yet
there
were
men
outside
that
we're
standing
there
with
their
ar-15s
and
with
their
a
gun
standing
on
the
steps,
and
my
son
was
sort
of
really
confused
and
wanted
to
know.
Why
are
the
guys
outside
have
so
much
bigger
guns
than
the
police?
G
This
is
a
decade
century
old
issue
of
how
we
police
our
communities
of
how
we
interact
with
our
communities.
It's.
So
if
we
pass
this
I,
don't
believe
the
black
community
will
be.
This
will
have
a
higher
rate
of
arrests
simply
because
we
have
guns
right
it's
because
of
how
we
go
into
our
communities,
how
we
police
them,
how
we
interact
with
our
children.
That's
it's
the
same
reason.
G
K
Just
respond
to
that
I
just
want
to
say,
I,
do
hear
you
and
not
yet,
but
I
also
think
that,
just
because
we
know
what's
going
to
happen
doesn't
mean
we
add
additional
to
make
additional
arrests
and
just
ignore
the
fact
that
this
that
the
the
fact
is
there
are
more
arrests
in
the
african-american
community
and
the
immigrant
community,
using
current
gun
laws
and
in
other
cities
and
other
states
they're
known
as
the
Jim
Crow
laws.
It's
not
endorsed
by
black
lives
matters,
and
it's
also
they're
also
known
as
the
discrimination
laws.
K
B
Would
at
least
suggest-
and
maybe
all
of
you
have
already
read
it-
there
are
a
number
of
books
about
this
issue.
Probably
Michelle
Alexander's
book
on
the
new
Jim
Crow
is
the
best
the
best
the
best
overall
view
of
it.
Although
there
are
other
view
books
if
you're
interested
in
this
in
this
in
this
issue,
it's
one
of
the
issues,
I
read
about
I'm
sure
I'm
willing
to
bring
the
books
in
you're,
not
the
Bible
can
read
them
free,
but.
B
It's
because
I,
it's
me
and
my
son
and
I
have
a
son
is
really
really
interested
in
it.
So
we
talked
about
the
time
right,
but
I
don't
want
to
leave
I,
don't
want
to
I,
don't
want
I,
don't
and
I
do
say.
Mr.
konkey,
oh
I,
don't
want
the
public
to
misunderstand
our
perspective.
Our
perspective
is
the
city
gets
better
as
a
whole
right.
We
all
believe
that
the
city
will
get
better
as
a
whole,
and
so
I
I
don't
want
I.
Don't
want
us
to
I
think
we
will
be
united
on
this
issue.
B
J
P
Well,
I'll
go
then,
so
you
know
I,
don't
hesitate
to
say,
I
see
both
sides
of
the
coin
on
this
I
really
do
you
know
when
I
sit
and
I
talk
to
well,
let
me
say:
first
I
wanted
to
talk
to
Cory
and
Erica
in
private
before
we
really,
you
know
aired
this
out,
but
I
will
say
this
a
miscommunication
in
this
whole
thing
is,
and
I
talked
to
Cory
early
on
about.
You
know
people
when
they
read
when
the
gun
activists
read
these
bills.
P
What
they
see
is
China,
take
all
their
guns
away:
okay,
the
beginning
of
China,
take
all
their
guns
away
and
that's
important
to
me
not
to
be
that
way,
because
I'm
I
was
a
sports.
My
father
was
an
outdoorsman,
you
know,
so
we
hunted
we
fished
and
all
that
so
so
I'll
say
this.
The
misconception
is
and
I
think.
Maybe
the
amendments
will
kind
of
clarify
that
a
little
bit,
but
you
know
they
read
it
their
attorneys.
P
They
read
it
completely
different
than
what
I
read
it
or
what
what
I
think
Corey's
in
Erica's
intent
was
so
hopefully
that
will
be
clarified.
Concerns
of
mine.
You
know
again
we'll
talk
a
bit
about
that,
but
but
I'll
say
there
are
two
concerns
of
mine:
it's
what
it's
going
to
cost
the
