Good
morning
and
welcome

Wednesday
January
22nd
2020,
our
first
order
is
public
comment.
Anyone
wishing
to

before
City
Council
has
three
minutes
to
speak.
Please
begin
by
stepping
forward
give
your
name
and
neighbourhood
for
the
record.
The
green
light
indicates.
You
have
the
beginning
of
your
three
minutes.
The
yellow
light
comes
on.
You
have
one
minute
to
summarize
and
when
the
red
light
comes
on,
your
time
is
up.
B
B
Cuz
I'm
gonna
use
that
bill
to
file
charges
to
get
sense
for
his
hateful
activity,
because
when
Miss
Grose
started
talking
when
I
did
it
interrupted
me
and
I
said
Miss
gross,
he
told
me
I
can't
say
anything
to
her
and
then
you
had
the
sergeant
of
arms
walking
towards
me.
That
means
I'm
gonna
be
put
out
because
I
told
her
that
she's
supposed
to
listen
instead
of
talk,
more
I
got
three
minutes
and
I'm.
B
You
know
what
I'm
sick
and
tired
of
coming
but
I
have
to
because,
yes,
don't
know
what's
happening
in
the
city,
you
make
up
your
own
laws
and
we
die
I'm
coming
down
to
try
to
stop
us
from
being
attacked
and
die.
Mr.
Burgess,
he
needs
to
know
he
has
to
stop
this
same
race
discrimination.
That's
what
it
is
because
I'm
black
I'm
dark
and
he's
yellow
you
know
the
yellow
ones
in
here-
get
to
speak
longer.
Now
people
don't
want
me
to
say
yellow,
but
you
must.
B
You
must
cuss
when,
when
the
guard
said
no
no
black
people
and
I
said
there's
two
yellow
ones
on
here:
two
yellow
men
and
I'm,
saying
color,
because
when
you
come
to
this
dark
one
we
don't
get
to
speak,
we
will
be
stopped
now.
As
far
as
hateful
I
think
it's
hateful
that
you
got
into
law
and
say
we
can
speak
three
minutes,
but
then
you
make
the
decision
that
I
can't
say
something
to
a
Councilwoman
that
don't
come
like.
B
She
should
always
late
making
sixty
eight
thousand
dollars
a
year
and
she
can
speak
when
I
speak.
I
got
three
minutes.
You
won't
even
give
us
I
tried
to
get
five
with
mister.
She
was
here.
I
got
a
couple
seconds:
I'm,
just
I'm,
sick
and
I'm
depressed
because
of
the
racism
that
I'm
happy
endure.
It
will
not
tell
the
receptionist's
that
I
leave
a
message
for
the
mayor,
she's
gonna
say
never
three-one
three-one.
Wouldn't
let
me
even
leave
a
message:
she's
yellow
to
that
same
race
discrimination.
That's
what
I'm
suffering
from
I!
Don't
hey
I!
B
Don't
care
about
you
being
yellow
you
just
lack
pigmentation!
That's
all
my
husband
is
like
complected,
my
children,
so
it
ain't
because
I'm
dark
I,
don't
care
about
it.
It's
just
that
making
the
difference
and
I'm
sick
and
tired
of
it
I'm
tired
against,
and
you
can
look
all
you
want
like
that
man.
He
was
a
white
man.
Here,
told
you
it's
about
controlling
your
roll,
your
eyes!
You
need
to
listen.
Instead
of
rolling
your
eyes.

Pittsburgh
I
think
you
should
ask
after
I
founded
the
Center
for
Global
Studies
international
interdisciplinary
in
1998,
incorporated
in
Pennsylvania
and
New
York,
and
after
securing
memberships
in
the
associations
of
the
21
primary
disciplines
and
drawing
on
the
info
Intel
expertise
of
my
disciplinary
colleagues.
I
created
a
library
at
the
Center
for
Global
Studies
module
on
40
built
super
Avenue.
The
carnegie
library
of
pittsburgh
is
co.
P
is
a
concern.
A
major
concern
of
this
council
is
very
clear.
D
Clp
interrogative
to
new
me,
that's
nigerian
house'.
Does
a
co
p
branch
have
the
journal
genetics
of
the
genetic
society
of
america?
None
no
branch,
0
value!
Does
the
CGS,
aiiow
library,
40
bills
to
revenue
have
the
paper
version
of
genetics?
Yes,
we
do
10
out
of
10
the
CLP
another
way
to
look
at
this
is
it's
an
imperative?
D
There
can
be
an
imperative
that
every
CLP
branch
should
have
the
print
Journal
of
the
American
Chemical
Society
I'm,
a
member
of
the
American
Chemical
Society,
is
one
of
the
the
best
most
has
most
expertise
of
people
in
chemistry
in
the
United
States
across
the
world,
but
the
CLP
branches,
don't
have
it
the
library
at
the
CGS,
III
and
affordability
or
the
primary
module
we
do
have
it
and
an
indicative
co
p
indicative
no
co.
P
branch
has
the
offline
digital
issue
of
physics
of
plasmas,
which
is
really
important
journals.
D
So
that's
0,
the
CGS
III
library
does
have
this
now.
I
think
that
this
means
that
the
CGS
I
library,
which
I
have
created
is
better
than
on
this
axis
in
the
sciences
than
the
CLP
branches.
Now
we
have
people
on
on
the
board
of
trustees,
who
are
CLP,
just
ease
your
councilors.
So
all
of
you
who
are
should
understand
that
the
expertise
that
you
are
manifesting
and
for
which
you
are
chosen
is
inferior
to
what
I
have
to
offer.
And
thousands
of
other
people
in
our
city
have
to
offer.

We
ourselves
need
to
start
purchasing
this,
especially
when
we're
doing
large
green
infrastructure
projects,
or
else
the
maintenance
of
them
is
going
to
be
far
worse
for
our
system,
so
purchasing
one
of
these
thanks
to
the
Richard
King
mellon
foundation,
but
in
the
future
we
ourselves
need
to
start
interesting
these.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilman
gross.
C
K
You
yeah
just
gonna
elaborate
a
little
bit.
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
It's
something
that
other
cities
do,
that
we
are
lagging
behind
on
is
to
have
pavement
that
is
pervious,
not
impervious,
so
that
rainwater
can
actually
saturate
through
sidewalks
or
through
roads.
Fortunately,
it
takes
a
different
kind
of
maintenance,
because
if
the
kind
of
cells
or
spacers
in
the
pavement
get
clogged
up,
then
they're
no
longer
pervious
and
the
rainwater
is
in
saturating.
K
F
E
L
You
very
much
I
have
a
handout
which
I'll
give
the
clerk
when
councilman,
Lavelle
and
I
started.
I'll
start
this
work.
I
am
pleased
to
say
that
is
now
capturing
national
attention.
We've
gotten
emails
from
City
Council
in
Cleveland
and
city
council
for
Columbus
that
are
trying
to
model
our
legislation
and
to
replicate
it,
and
we
believe
this
is
catching
fire
when
I.
The
second
thing
is
I,
do
understand
that
having
conversations
about
race
sometimes
makes
us
uncomfortable.
L
The
last
thing
I
will
say
is
this:
when
we
pass
lost
or
stolen
handguns,
we
knew
that
it
was
probably
unconstitutional,
but
we
passed
it
because
we
want
to
make
a
moral
stand.
Recently
we
passed
three
pieces
of
legislation
in
terms
of
handgun
legislation,
and
we
did
that
because
we
want
to
make
a
moral
stand
and
so
again
I
am
standing
to
make
a
moral
stand,
and
in
this
case
the
legislation
calls
for
banning
hateful
activities.
And
let's
talk
about
that,
first
of
all,
we
have
to
talk
about
it
in
terms
of
race,
race.
L
Racism
is
structural,
institutional
and
so
I
remind
us
of
what
we
already
learned
before
racism,
in
other
words,
isn't
just
someone
using
a
racial
slur.
It's
also
the
poor
schooling
in
predominantly
black
and
brown
neighborhoods,
the
racial
wealth
gap,
housing
discrimination,
mass
incarceration,
police
killings
of
unarmed,
black
and
brown
people,
higher
infant
mortality
rate,
higher
infant
mortality
rates
for
people
of
color
and
unequal
access
to
health
care,
Jeanine,
dustman,
Harris,
I,
have
found
will
say:
systemic
racism
is
embedded
in
society
and
has
a
detrimental
effect
on
the
lives
of
health
outcomes
of
people
of
color.
L
G
L
L
L
Pittsburgh's
gender
and
equity
Commission
issue
report
titled
Pittsburgh's
inequality
across
gender
and
race,
black
women
and
Pittsburgh
faced
higher
rates
of
mortality
of
maternal
mortality
and
poverty,
along
with
lower
rates
of
employment
and
college
readiness,
black
men
in
Pittsburgh,
faced
higher
rates
of
occupational
segregation,
homicides
cancer
and
cardiovascular
disease,
black
children
have
higher
infant
mortality
rates
and
lower
educational
achievement
outcomes.
According
to
its
findings,
Pittsburgh's
black
residents
can
move
to
almost
any
other
city
in
the
United
States
and
have
a
better
quality
of
life
in
subsequent
interviews.
L
Thank
You
Juanita
Howell
university
of
pittsburgh
sociologist
who
worked
on
the
report,
said
a
report
empirically
validated
that
Pittsburgh's
racism
is
not
only
alive
and
well
but
more
extreme
than
other
cities.
That's
worth
repeating
our
report
empirically
validated
that
Pittsburgh
racism
is
not
only
alive
and
well
but
more
extreme
than
most
cities
and,
of
course,
we
passed
legislation
affirming
the
fact
that
racism
is
a
public
health
crisis
in
our
city
and
now
the
next
step.
One
of
the
ways
to
reduce
racism
in
Pittsburgh
is
by
baning
banning
hateful
activities.
L
One
of
the
ways
to
reduce
racism
in
Pittsburgh
is
by
banning
hateful
activities.
So
let's
talk
about
that
legislation
defines
hateful
activities
as
activities
that
incite
or
engage
in
violence.
Intimidation,
harassment,
threats
are
defamation
targeting
an
individual
or
group
based
on
their
actual
or
perceived
race,
color,
religion,
national
origin,
ethnicity,
immigration
status,
gender,
gender
identity,
sexual
orientation
or
disability.
The
legislation
bans
hateful
activities
by
in
three
ways.
L
One
no
city
employee
shall
engage
in
had
hateful
activities
toward
another
city,
employee,
no
city,
employee,
who
encouraged
nor
organized
others
to
engage
in
hateful
activities
toward
another
city.
Employee.
The
prohibition
of
hateful
activities
includes
acts
that
occur
in
person
in
writing
and
across
various
media
platforms
included,
but
not
limited
to
email,
Facebook
and
Twitter.
Violations
of
hateful
of
hateful
activities
violations
are
referred
to
the
C's
ethic
Hearing
Board,
who
has
the
power
to
find
or
recommend
discipline
actions.
L
L
L
Finally,
the
Center
for
American
Progress,
the
Southern
Poverty
Law,
Center,
free
press,
the
Nano
National
Hispanic
media
coalition,
colors
have
changed
and
the
lawyers
Committee
for
civil
rights
under
the
law,
along
with
a
coalition
of
other
40
groups
across
the
nation,
announced
the
release
of
change
the
terms
a
set
of
recommended
policies
for
corporations
to
adopt
and
to
implement
to
reduce
hateful
activities
on
the
platforms.
This
city
of
Pittsburgh
hateful
activity,
prohibition,
ethics
policy
is
consistent
with
the
change
the
term
policies
recommendations
now.
L
All
hateful
activity
is
not
racist,
however,
most
of
it
is
number
one.
What
are
the
characteristics
of
hateful
activity?
First
of
all,
our
research
shows
that
hateful
activities
are
in
hateful.
Acts
are
disproportionately
race,
centered
african-americans,
and
this
is
something
that
we
don't
about.
African-Americans
are
the
most
frequent
victims
of
hey
craps
african-americans
are
the
most
frequent
victims
of
hate
crimes.
Hate
crimes
are
specifically
fundamentally
an
african-american
problem.
Number
two
hateful
activities
often
employ
the
use
of
racial
language
and/or
racial
stereotypes.
L
Let's
talk
about
what
those
stereotypes
look
like
I
teach
class
in
mass
media,
and
we
teach
this
in
the
class
first
of
all
and
and
what
I
have
found
this
hateful
stuff.
It
almost
always
goes
to
these
stereotypes.
They
they
get
it,
they
get
frustrated
and
they
can't
help
themselves.
So,
what's
the
block
male
stereotypes?
Well,
is
the
happy
slave,
the
slave
that
just
we
know
grateful
to
serve
Jim
Crow?
Is
the
shuffling
grinning,
incompetent
african-american,
but
the
one
that's
the
most
prominent
that
has
played
its
part
on
the
national
stage.
L
Probably,
with
the
most
effect
is
the
Savage,
the
same
qualities
that
we
exemplify
in
North,
African,
Americans,
assertiveness
aggressiveness
intelligence
power,
but
when
it
becomes
an
african-american
male,
that's
a
problem
he's
a
savage
he
he
and
normally
they
will
take
this
savage
thing
and
they
would
do
the
subcategory
of
it,
which
is
the
mandingo
thing,
and
they
will
say
somehow
that
this
African
American
male
is
a
threat
to
white
women
or
to
women.
They'll
say:
oh,
he
charged
a
white
woman
or
white
women
feel
uncomfortable
around
him.
L
That's
that's
the
normal
sort
of
racist
slander
about
black
men
or
he's
a
homophobe.
It's
always
sexual
with
black
men,
because
that
is
the
tradition
of
our
country.
Between
9th
between
1886
and
1968.
In
this
country
there
were
4,500
lynchings,
that's
almost
a
lynching!
Every
week
in
this
country,
oh
those
lynchings.
All
the
vast
majority
of
them
were
lynching
black
men
because
of
some
white
woman
accusation.
It
was
the
most
consistent
reason
to
lynch
black
men,
and
so
now
they
don't
necessarily
do
this
publicly,
but
they
do
it
privately
right.
They
go
on
the
internet.
L
They
do
a
whisper
campaign.
Now,
if
it's
a
black
female,
they
also
have
stereotypes.
Mammy
is
the
one
from
gone
with
the
wind
and
that's
the
block.
Women
and
probably
my
voice
today,
I'm
having
a
block
woman
who
takes
care
of
the
child.
Who
is
the
mother
figure
and
her
mama
is
similar
to
mammy
only
that
she
is
usually
the
quote:
she's,
not
necessarily
the
child
Giver
a
safari
is
the
aggressive
black
woman
she's,
the
bossy
black
woman.
L
You
know,
that's
the
one
that
if
you're
too
too
smart
too
intelligent,
you
need
to
stay
in
your
place
and
then
the
one
that
that
also
is
also
portrayed
in
even
now
in
television
in
motion
pictures
is
the
Jezebel.
That's
the
overly
sexually
seductive.
No
man
can
resist
her,
a
black
female
now
how
these
work
in
real
life.
First
of
all,
we
have
to
understand
that
the
relationship
between
african-americans
and
their
experience
in
Pittsburgh
and
its
white
counterparts
in
Pittsburgh
are
not
the
same.
Let's
look
at
a
few
characteristics
just
to
make
the
point.
L
First
of
all,
in
terms
of
population,
pittsburgh
is
65%
white.
It's
only
23%
black
geography.
Pittsburgh
is
extremely
segregated.
70%
of
African
Americans
live
in
concentrated
communities
right,
so
most
of
our
neighborhoods
are
mostly
segregated
in
terms
of
income.
Whites
make
household
average,
they
make
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
a
year
on
average
in
Pittsburgh
blocks,
for
the
most
part
are
much
poorer.
They
make
about
a
third
of
that
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
homeownership,
which
has
to
do
with
wealth.
L
Sixty
percent
of
whites
own
their
homes,
only
30%
36%
of
blocks
own
their
own
homes
and
then
the
social
networks
and
in
the
in
the
Heinz
report,
barriers
to
bridge
bridges.
They
make
this
point
better
than
I.
Can
Pittsburgh's
social
networks
are
extremely
segregated
right.
So,
let's
take.
Let
me
just
give
you
an
example
of
that
I
I
live
in
North
Korean,
breeze,
North,
Point
Breeze
is
probably
somewhere
between
30
to
40
percent
african-american
right
across
the
street.
L
Three
blocks
from
me
is
North
Point
breeze,
which
is
probably
closer
to
90
percent
white
about
ten
percent
african-american
and
a
great
upgrade
up
the
street
from
that
is
Squirrel
Hill,
and
even
though
those
neighborhoods
are
1012
blocks
apart,
they
are
miles
apart,
socially,
for
instance,
I
I.
Don't
have
access
to
I,
don't
have
a
relationship
with
the
people
who
go,
although
I
I
know
the
priests,
but
I
don't
have
a
relationship
with
those
who
go
to
st.
L
Bede's
I,
don't
have
a
relationship
with
those
that
go
to
tree
life
if
the,
if
the
store
owners
and
business
owners
in
Squirrel
Hill
decide
to
get
together
for
whatever
reason
and
make
a
decision
about
me
or
about
black
people,
there
would
be
no
black
people
to
have
that
conversation
because
they
are
set
because
Pittsburgh
segregated,
and
so
what
happens
in
Pittsburgh.
Is
you
have
these
white
organizations
and
these
white
people
that
make
these
decisions
about
African
Americans?
First
of
all,
they
make
them
without
African
Americans,
be
in
the
room.
L
That
alone
is
a
problem,
just
us
not
being
in
room,
and
you
make
decisions
about
us
with
us
not
being
in
the
room
is
a
problem.
However,
when
you
bring
in
hateful
activity,
then
it
becomes
blatantly
racist.
White
privilege
means
there's
a
fundamental
power
differential
differential
in
terms
of
population,
geography,
income,
homeownership
and
social
networks
between
whites
and
blacks
and
Pittsburgh.
A
L
Want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
clear
about
what
I'm
saying
I
am
not
judging
or
calling
anybody
a
name
I'm,
simply
saying:
when
people
engage
in
hateful
activities
against
African,
Americans
and
they're
white,
they
may
not
be
racist.
The
individual
who
uses
racist
activities
may
not
be
a
racist,
but
that's
what
races
do
going
on
the
blahs
going
in
a
smear
campaign,
secretly
a
whisper
campaign
not
talking
directly
to
the
people
who
are
accused
by
creating
a
lynch
mentality
that
may
not
be
date.
L
The
person
who
does
it
may
not
be
a
coward,
but
that's
what
cowards
do
when
you
organize
into
groups
to
slander
to
lynch
to
defame
african-american
person,
a
group
that
does
not
make
you
a
group,
but
that's
what
hate
groups
do.
That
is
what
pittsburgh
does
it's
interesting
since
I've
introduced
this
legislation,
I've
had
lots
of
employees
of
the
city
come
to
me
privately
telling
me
that
this
is
their
experience.
It
is
the
experience
and
normally
we
don't
have
this
conversation,
but
it
happens
in
our
city,
and
this
has
no
place.
L
A
L
So,
in
order
for
Pittsburgh
to
be
a
livable
city
for
everyone,
it's
interesting
that
we
call
Pittsburgh
the
most
livable
city.
Yet
it
is
the
worst
city
in
the
country
for
african-americans.
We
must
come
together
and
prioritize
racial
justice
and
reconciliation.
We
use
these
other
words.
You
know
equity
and
diversity.
L
Yeah,
but
really
we
ought
to
add
the
word
rates,
because
that's
really
the
problem.
The
problem
in
Pittsburgh
is
not
inclusion.
It's
black
inclusion
is
not
equity.
It's
black
equity!
We
need
to
understand
the
new
Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
has
a
race
problem,
and
as
a
city,
we
must
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we
start
is
making
a
moral
stand
to
eliminate
races
and
hateful
activities,
I
believe
and
and
I
believe
this
we
just
celebrate:
Martin
Luther,
King's
birthday
and
King.
There's
two
Kings
right,
there's
the
1963
King,
which
is
that
I
have
a
dream.
L
K
Councilman
Burgess,
all
as
always,
these
materials
are
incredibly
helpful
in
giving
both
ourselves
and
the
public
background
framing
a
shared
vocabulary
in
order
to
move
forward
our
collective
actions
around
our
shared
values
and
it's
wonderful
to
have
a
kind
of
consolidated
presentation
here.
I
hope
again
that
these
will
be
included
in
the
legislative
record
so
that
members
of
the
public
can
go
to
this
session
and
click
on
the
links
of
the
they
can
see.
K
The
exact
same
materials
that
we're
looking
at
here,
especially
again,
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
acknowledging
the
work
of
the
gender
equity
Commission
and
drawing
attention
of
Pittsburgh
to
the
disparities
in
wealth
and
in
even
Health,
between
especially
black
women
and
black
men,
to
other
demographic
categories
of
the
city
and
I.
Share
your
concern
and
and
I
think
it's
right
to
talk
about
black
equity.
When
we're
talking
about
equity.
K
This
presentation
jumps
from
the
kind
of
structural
and
institutionalized
racism
to
individual
actions
of
hate,
and
so
in
that
part
I'm
wondering
how
the
legislation
you
know
juggles
the
two
things.
So
when
we're
talking
about
wealth
creation,
reducing
block
that
disparities
and
increasing
black
equity,
we're
talking
about
changing
systems,
changing
as
you've
emphasized
many
times,
our
budgeting
priorities
our
legislative
priorities,
but
that's
a
big
jump
to
individual
actions
in
sociology.
K
You
call
it
reductive
reasoning
right
to
jump
from
what
is
systemic
to
to
individual
and
so
then
I
get
confused,
because
when
I'm
in
my
district,
when
we've
had
hate
incidents
like
in
Lawrenceville
late
last
year,
there
was
a
rise
in
hate
crimes,
sponsored
we
think
by
organized
hate
groups
like
the
Patriot
Front
and
there
was
a
series
of
taggings
I
was
struggling
to
find
on
my
phone.
Some
of
the
references
that
I
could
share
with
you
all
to
summarize
those
activities,
especially
on
the
heels
of
the
Tree
of
Life
incident
Massacre.
K
There
was
a
series
of
spray
paints
and
on
properties
owned
specifically
by
Jewish
people
in
Lawrenceville,
and
so
Lawrenceville
United.
The
community
group
brought
in
the
FBI
and
we
did
a
session
and
again
I.
Don't
have
the
dates
specifically
in
front
of
me,
I'm
struggling
to
find,
as
I
asked
my
staff
to
help
me
find
those.
K
It
was
delayed
in
2019
hate
crimes,
here's
one
hate,
crimes
on
rise
and
Lawrenceville,
prompt,
FBI
response,
so
hate
speech
and
hate
crimes
have
very
specific
federal
definitions
and
because
I
don't
know
them
offhand,
can
you
speak
to
that
in
the
legislation?
Are
they
consistent
with
the
federal
definitions?
K
Are
they
inconsistent
with
the
federal
definitions,
or
are
we
going
above
beyond
if
you
could
just
help
me
out
with
that,
because
the
FBI
we
brought
it,
the
FBI
came
in
and
did
a
training
I
think
on
January
28,
sorry,
so
it
was
beginning
of
last
year.
I
got
my
ears
mixed
up,
sorry
we're
in
2020
now
so
this
would
have
been
January,
28,
2019
and
specifically
talked
about
that
line
between
an
kind
of
criminal
or
non
criminal
action.
I
says.
L
Hurry
we
can
I'm
going
to
have
a
conversation
all
year,
of
course,
but
let's,
let's
talk
about
this,
this
is
narrowly
tailored
tailored
on
purpose,
right,
there's,
a
difference
between
a
hate
crime
which
this
is
not
and
hateful
activities
of
which
this
is
those
are
two
different
things.
One
says
that
you
have
committed
a
crime,
a
federal
crime,
a
crime
that
can
be
prosecuted.
This
is
not
a
crime.
L
This
is
morally
reprehensible
act
and
that
it
is
10
is
tightly
narrowed
to
city
employees,
because
I
believe
the
city
oftentimes
must
show
the
way
and
point
the
way.
I
can't
stop
private
individuals
from
doing
things.
Iii
can
tell
them
they
shouldn't,
but
I
can't
stop
them.
I
can
tell
corporations
and
that
the
the
the
the
principles
come
from
this
power.
L
These
groups
have
tried
to
pressure
to
corporate
America,
to
change
their
practices,
and
so
I
thought
that
it
would
be
good
for
city
government
to
show
the
way
because
see-
let's
be
honest,
we're
politicians
at
this
table
and
and
in
my
experience,
Paulette
pump.
Political
campaigns
are
ugly
in
my
own
campaigns.
I
I
had
lots
of
ugliness
lots
of
Lies
and
into
windows
and
smears
and
I
never
said
a
word
because
in
a
political
campaign,
that's
what's
expected
Bob's
here
East,
he
knows
I'm
telling
the
truth
right
that
that
happens.
That's
that's
politics.
L
Bob
Barr,
from
from
the
from
tribune-review
I've,
been
the
subject
of
multiple
smear
campaigns
because
of
my
effectiveness
of
putting
resources
in
african-american
communities,
oftentimes
I've
been
the
subject
of
vicious
hate
campaigns.
I
understand
why
and
I
never
say
anything
about
it.
That's
part
of
the
game,
but
after
the
election
is
over
after
the
votes
have
been
counted,
to
have
a
campaign
waged
against
a
city,
employee
or
even
a
public
official
after
the
votes
were
over
and
for
that
campaign
to
be
fueled
by
people
who
work
in
the
same
government.
L
People
who
may
even
work
in
the
same
floor
for
the
kind
of
ugly
nasty
racist
activity
to
occur
to
me
is
distasteful.
To
me
is
immoral
and
to
me
is
blatantly
racist
and
so
I
think
that
should
never
occur.
I
think
I
think
a
couple
things.
First
of
all,
this
conversation
I
think
the
people
who
do
such
things
should
publicly
apologize.
L
Second
of
all,
I
think
that
people
who
do
such
things-
and
this
is
the
point
of
legislation-
have
no
place
in
this
government.
They
have
no
place
and
I
mean.
If
you
want
me
to
get
on,
my
soapbox,
I
can
I
was
not
gonna,
but
we
can
can
talk
about
leadership
and
what
leadership
really
means,
but
I'll
start
I'll
start
with
that.
This
is
so.
This
is
telling,
on
purpose
to
just
to
the
employees
and
so
I'm
willing
to
do
whatever
the
body
wants
to
do.
L
If
you
want
to
send
it
down
to
the
law
department
I'm,
the
SD,
the
8th,
the
ACL
of
you,
have
not
weighed
in
directly
they've,
said
I
guess
on
W
ESA
because
of
its
narrowly
Terrell
nature.
It's
probably
constitutional,
but
I
have
no
problem.
Having
a
laudable
law
apartment,
we
could
have
post
agendas
and
public
hearings
to
me.
It's
up
to
you.
I
I,
want
to
make
this
statement
publicly
because
see
cowards,
hide.
L
I
can
speak
out,
but
there
are
people
in
public
works.
Who
can't
speak
out?
There
are
people
in
human
relations
and
personnel
who
can't
speak
out.
There
are
people
throughout
our
government.
There
are
police
officers
and
fire
people
who
can't
speak
out,
and
so
I
speak
for
them
to
say
that
this
activity
occurs
and
everyone
in
this
table.
If
they
were
to
be
honest,
no,
it
occurs
and
I'm
saying.
Let's
make
a
moral
statement
saying
this
has
no
place
in
this
city.
K
K
K
So
that's
their
action
difference
right
so
saying
things
is
different
than
threatening
someone
even
with
again
posts
online
or
stickers
or
graffiti.
It's
that's
their
trigger
the
way.
I
understand
the
federal
definitions.
I
do
think
this
is
a
fruitful
conversation
and
I'll
leave
it
there.
Thank
you,
Thank.
G
G
A
lot
of
this
occurred
during
the
council
presidency
vote,
which
is
why
now
I'm
and
where
I
am
but
I
think
that
it
was
such
a
hurtful
thing
to
go
through
for
all
of
us
and
I
think
want
to
be
honest
about
this
I
think
it
was
really
hurtful
to
watch
things
being
said
about
our
colleagues
and
reading
things
and
hearing
the
things
about
on
all
sides.
It
was
just
it
got
so
nasty
and
yet
we
know
one
another's
families.
G
We
know
each
other's
personal
pains
when
we've
grown
with
it
one
another
and
to
see
what
happened
during
that
time
was
just
it
was
painful.
It
was
painful
to
watch,
but
I
think
that
I
knew
you
think
that
legislation
is
and
that's
what
we're
here
for
is
the
way
to
do
things,
but
I,
don't
think
you
can
legislate.
G
Morality,
I
think
you
have
to
have
a
conversation
not
talking
to
a
camera,
not
talking
through
mic,
not
talking
through
the
media
but
actually
sitting
down
and
talking
to
one
another,
and
that
is
the
only
way
we're
gonna
start
making
changes
I.
Think
in
the
city
we
talk
at
each
other.
We
don't
hear
one
another.
G
We
don't
sit
down
and
try
to
figure
out
why
anybody
came
to
some
of
the
conclusions
they've
come
to
or
why
they've
taken
some
of
the
actions
they've
taken
but
I
know
some
of
the
people
involved
and
I
mean
we
all
know
all
the
people
involved
frankly
and
I'd
love
to
see
everyone
getting
along,
I
mean
I,
know
I.
You
know,
I
people
say
have
this
Pollyanna
thinking
where
everyone
can
just
all
get
along,
but
I
truly
believe
that
we
can
all
get
along.
G
If
we
actually
start
having
conversations,
we
don't
have
to
love
one
another.
We
don't
have
to
support
one
another,
but
we
have
to
work
and
respect
one
another,
but
I
think
it's
the
whole
discourse
with
pull
of
the
politics
in
this
country.
Right
now.
I
think
that
you
see
is
I.
Have
seen
some
of
the
nastiest
campaigns
I've
ever
seen
heard
some
of
the
horrible
most
blatant
lies
I've
ever
seen,
and
yet
it's
acceptable
and
people
get
elected
based
on
those
things,
and
so
our
public.
G
Our
voters
have
to
do
a
better
job
at
discerning
those
kinds
of
things
and
also
determine
that
they're
not
going
to
tolerate
it
either
by
not
voting
for
people
who
participate
in
those
kinds
of
things.
So
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
to
be
said,
but
I
think
we
first
have
to
have
the
conversation
with
one
another.
So
I'm
gonna
say
that
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
people
involved
and
a
lot
of
hurtful
feelings
involved
in
all
this
right
now.
G
I,
don't
think
that
I
definitely
I
hurt
I
would
be
honest,
I
hurt
for
you
and
your
family
during
that
time,
because
I
know
your
son's.
Your
son
help
my
son,
and
so
it
makes
me
sad
to
think
that
what
they
went
through,
but
it
also
makes
me
sad
to
think
when
we
all
went
through
during
that
time,
because
we
really
we
didn't,
do
it's
not
who
we
are,
and
we
really
didn't
do
ourselves.
We
do
ourselves
a
disservice.
G
Actually,
the
way
we
handled
ourselves
during
that
entire
time
for
something
that's
a
part-time
position,
more
work,
no
extra
pay
and
never
going
to
be
any
more
than
than
that
and
I
think
you
know
for
what
we
sacrificed
for
that
it.
You
know
it
really.
We
really
have
to
reevaluate.
You
know
who
we
are
as
people
and
and
is.
Are
we
willing
to
put
everything
on
the
line,
including
our
friendships
for
years,
for
something?
G
G
G
More
importantly,
we
have
to
respect
one
another
to
sit
down
and
try
to
mend
fences
and
talk
through
the
hurt
and
pain
that
was
caused
during
this
time
and
how
do
we
heal
from
those
things
and
maybe
educate
the
people
on
racism
and
some
other
things
that
I
think
you
know
people
are
not
aware
of,
and
also
people
felt
harassed
during
that
time.
So
I
we
can't
negate
the
other
people's
you.
G
As
well,
I
think
we
have
to
sit
down
because
that's
how
we
got
to
where
we
are,
because
both
sides
had
feelings
very
strong
feelings,
right
or
wrong.
I
to
me
it
was.
It
was
hurtful
for
you
and
I
felt
bad,
because
you
were
on
a
trip.
I
want
to
just
say,
with
your
wife
and
family
or
your
wife,
and
dealing
with
all
this
at
the
time,
and
so
that
I
heard
for
you,
I
heard
for
your
family,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
doesn't
happen
to
other
people.
G
But
I
think
we
really
have
to
have
a
conversation,
and
so
I
would
love
to
work
with
you
on
that
as
well,
and
I
know
you
and
I
and
a
couple
other
people
are
going
to
sit
down
today
and
talk,
but
I
think
mediation
is
one
thing,
but
I
think
it's
an
ongoing
lesson
that
needs
to
you
know
be
shared
throughout
the
building.
Not,
and
there
are
people
other
employees.
G
I
can
say
that
I've
received
phone
calls
from
other
employees
that
are
going
through
this
and
other
departments
and
they
don't
have
a
voice
and
we
tried
to
be
that
voice
and
unless
you
put
their
name
out
there
publicly,
then
you
risk
them
even
further.
So
there's
a
lot
that
has
to
be
discussed
because
we
all
know
there's
a
lot
of
women
here.
African
American
women
here
that
have
come
to
us
at
least
they've,
come
to
me
and
I've
advocated
for
them
many
times.
G
C
Any
other
members
on
our
first
round,
if
not
I,
want
to
just
add
two
quick
comments
and
actually
have
a
question
specific
to
the
legislation.
One
is
while
I
understand
the
sentiment
around
giving
in
a
room
and
having
a
conversation
that
may
apply
to
us
as
a
body.
It
does
not
apply
to
us
as
a
city
because
merely.
A
G
C
It's
very
specific
policies,
and
that
have
gotten
and
gotten
that
American
community
to
this
place,
whether
it's
realignment,
whether
it's
lack
of
being
able
to
go
to
higher
education
institutions.
There
are
specific
policies
that
have
over
hundreds
of
years
ended
up
in
this
place
that
we
are
so
I
do
believe.
We
have
to
legislate
ourselves
out
of
here.
I
also
want
to
be
clear
and
I
think
it
was
King's
Speech,
the
other
America
I
think
it
was
when
you
were
talking
about.
C
If
we
don't
address
these
ills
than
our
country
will
die
this
city,
despite
all
the
accolades,
is
dying.
We
are.
We
have
lost
population
every
year
for
more
than
30
years
now
there
was
a
statistic
where
three
of
Americans
were
leaving
the
city
a
day
we
are
now
and
for
the
very
first
time
in
history,
the
Allegheny
conference
is
having
to
deal
with
this.
C
They
are
now
unable
to
bring
major
corporations
to
this
city
because
of
lack
of
diversity
and
lack
of
diversity
is
literally
a
business
killer
in
corporate
America
now,
and
because
our
workforce
does
not
reflect
our
population.
Businesses
like
Google,
like
others,
literally,
do
not
want
to
be
in
our
city,
so
we
do
have
a
problem
because
of
this
state
of
our
F
American
community.
C
We
literally
have
thousands
of
jobs
that
are
going
unfilled
every
single
day
in
this
city,
because
we're
simply
not
training
the
population
that
we
have
so
the
structural
racism
that
has
led
to
that
is
indeed
killing
our
city
and
that
there's
no
way
around
that.
So
we
do
have
to
change
that.
I
also
want
to
be
clear
that
I
do
think
is
right
for
government
to
lead
the
way,
but
government
in
and
of
ourselves
cannot
get
us
out
of
this
problem.
We
need
Allegheny
Conference
to
realize
they
play
a
significant
role
in
this.
C
C
They
have
to
be
at
the
table
as
well
as
our
higher
education
institutions
and
many
others
with
all
that
being
said,
I
have
a
specific
question
to
the
legislation
in
the
legislation
you
state
that
all
three
hate
for
all
three
components
of
a
productivities
must
occur
in
order
to
dirt
for
there
to
be
a
violation
of
the
ordinance.
Why
all
three?
It's
because
in
my
mind,
if
one
of
these
should
occur,
I
should
be
able
to
then
go
to
the
Ethics
Board
not
have
to
wait
for
all
three
things
to
occur.
L
Really
comes
from
the
authors
of
the
information,
and
so
I
did
it
to
be
consistent
with
the
the
source
of
that
the
change
in
terms
source,
and
so
they
were
very
specific
about
it,
but
I
mean
in
terms
of
moving
the
legislation
through,
as
we
have
this
conversation
I'm
willing
to
make
changes
I
just
wanted
to
forward
it.
I
knew
that
be
some
discussion
before
I
make
the
before
I
make
forever
before
I
make
the
motion
hold.
Is
it
my
turn?
L
Isn't
I'll
say
this
and
I
Teresa
said
Theresa
and
I
are
the
Teresa
is
my
close,
his
friend
on
council?
Everybody
knows
that
Teresa
and
I
her
her
brother
taught
me
in
high
school
right.
We
we
we,
we
are
connected
her
and
I
right
and
so
I
appreciate
her
concern
about
me
and
and
and
and
my
family,
but
it's
interesting
that
people
not
her,
but
other
people
who
talked
about
me.
Don't
talk
to
me
so
I'll
tell
you
my
thoughts
on
the
personal
note.
I
am
NOT
angry
at
anybody.
I,
forgive
everybody.
L
Even
those
who
do
not
deserve
to
be
forgiven,
I,
don't
forgive
them
for
them,
I!
Forgive
them
for
me,
because
my
faith
forces
me
to
forgive
other
folk.
It's
what
I
believe
I
think
a
lot
about
leadership,
I
have
a
son
doing
a
PhD
and
his
work
is
in
leadership
and
I'm.
Sure
all
of
you
know
about
you
know
different
types
of
leadership,
the
trait
leadership
leaders
are
are
born
not
made
and
behavioral
style
that
there's
either.
You
know
TAS
versus
people
situational
theories.
L
That
leaders
can
change
their
behaviors
depending
on
the
the
TAS
functional
theories
where
the
leader
is
trained
and
once
the
leader
is
trained,
he
or
she
can
switch
their
style
depending
on
it.
Leadership
presence
that
the
leader
has
some
inherent
innate
ability
that
separates
some
from
other
people.
What
I
believe
is
servant
leadership.
L
A
personal
note,
since
they
I'm
gonna,
tell
you
what
I've
learned
and
I've
been
preaching
all
of
my
life.
My
first
job
was
as
a
pastor:
I
am
fun
a
preacher,
so
I
would
tell
you
was
not
written
down
anywhere
where
I
have
learned
in
my
life
and
then
I
won't
talk
about
this
again.
There's
something
called
three
levels
of
leadership
that
I
believe
and
it
comes
from
the
servant
leader
hip
ship
model.
L
It
says
the
leader
is
really
a
leader
in
three
ways:
a
leader
is
a
leader
in
public
and
that
refers
to
the
actions
that
the
leader
takes
with
two
or
more
people,
and
that
that
leader
has
to
learn
to
leave
in
public.
It
also
says
the
leader
is
a
leader
in
private,
that's
one-on-one
conversations
and,
and
also
a
leader
to
your
family,
right
to
your
husband
and
to
your
wife
and
to
your
children.
But
then
the
author
talks
about
something
called
personal
leadership.
L
Personal
leadership
is
when
the
leader
gets
the
technical,
psychological,
but,
most
importantly,
the
moral
development.
If
you
want
to
be
a
leader
you
can
have
all
you
could
have
every
position
that
you
want.
It
really
won't
matter.
If
you
want
to
be
a
leader
you
can,
you
can
have
all
the
kind
of
relationships
in
the
world
and
it
really
won't
matter.
If
you
really
want
to
be
a
leader,
you
got
to
be
a
leader
from
the
heart.
L
You
got
to
get
your
heart
right,
because
if
your
hearts,
not
right
God,
won't
bless
you
in
the
public,
God
won't
bless
you
in
your
private
life
and
God
won't
bless
you
in
your
pride
in
your
personal
life.
Your
heart
got
to
rewrite
leadership
and
service.
As
a
matter
of
the
heart,
you
get
your
heart
right
and
it
won't
matter
what
they
call.
You
get
your
heart
right.
Well,
no
matter
where
you
serve
get
your
heart
right
and
you
will
be
able
to
lift
up
people
in
service
wherever
you
go.
That's
what
I've
learned!
M
I
just
want
to
say
you
know,
I
know,
emotions
are
raw
stole
from
the
presidency.
Like
you
said
Theresa,
you
know.
I
also
want
to
say
too
that
there's
not
a
political
campaign,
whether
it
be
a
democratic
committee
seat
that
I
ever
ran
for
there
were
I
was
not
defamed
and
I
was
not
persecuted
for
something
that
really
wasn't
true.
I
agree
with
most
of
what's
in
this
packet,
but
this
this
page
right
here
about
the
city,
employees
and
return
ethics
board.
To
me
it
seems
like
an
infringement
on
free
speech.

Please.
K
You
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
talk
with
the
counselor
in
coghill
about
this
ahead
of
time,
so
I
apologize,
but
I
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
for
our
discussion
that
curbside
recycling
in
blue
bins.
It's
something
that
I
when
I
was
in
graduate
school
in
North
Carolina
in
the
1990s
that
we
did.
My
sister
North
Carolina
had
blue
bins
on
the
sidewalks
and
we
put
all
of
our
combined
recycling
into
them.
K
Although
I
think
we
might
have
actually
had
to
separate
them
as
well
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
as
I'm
talking
to
people
who
are
concerned
about
recycling
and
reducing
plastic
consumption-
and
there
are
multiple
different
coalition's
in
the
city.
That
part
of
the
problem
is
that
combined
combining
of
all
of
your
household
recyclables
into
one
container.
It
makes
it
more
costly
for
us,
as
the
city
to
then
try
to
find
someone
to
buy
any
single
one
of
those
things,
whether
it's
the
glass
of
the
paper
or
the
plastic.
K
And
then
we
want
to
generally
acknowledge
that
you
know
25
years
ago,
when
I
was
in
graduate
school
in
North
Carolina,
there
was
a
market
for
multiple
kinds
of
plastic,
with
those
little
numbers
on
the
bottom
and
I.
Think
in
the
city
now
we're
down
to
just
number
two
I
don't
want
to
state
that
incorrectly,
and
so
basically
the
only
thing
that
we're
supposed
to
be
putting
out
our
plastic
bottles
things
with
a
neck
right
and
that
we're
there's.
K
No,
we
can't
sell
the
yogurt
containers,
we
can't
sell
the
clamshell
containers
and
that,
on
top
of
even
the
things
that
there
is
a
market
for
that,
we
could
be
selling
to
take
these
plastics
off
our
hands
so
that
we're
not
trucking
them
in
our
diesel
trucks
all
the
way
to
the
landfill
and
dumping
them
that
often
they're
too
dirty,
and
we
can't
get
them
clean
enough
that
the
marketplace
will
buy
them.
So
we
have
a
really
broken
system.
K
I,
think
it's
odd
that
it's
always
called
single
stream,
because
it
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
That's
when
you
dump
all
your
stuff
together
in
the
blue
bin,
okay
and
then
you
know
our
recycling
truck,
comes
and
picks
it
up
and
takes
it
off
someplace,
and
then
it's
someone
else's
problem
to
try
to
separate
it
and
then
to
find
someplace
that
to
send
it
in
the
world
that
it
gets
recycled.
K
So
this
is
completely
broken
system,
so
it's
just
so,
unfortunately
that
were
2025
years
late
on
the
blue
bins
because
I
well,
it
would
seem
like
a
great
idea.
Even
five.
Six
years
ago,
when
I
first
came
on
council,
the
the
the
market,
the
industry,
for
how
the
thing
from
your
household
gets
to
be
recycled
into
something
new,
is
completely
different
and
is
broken
for
most
cities.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
pause
like.
Is
this
actually
what
we
should
be
doing
now?
H
With
You
Councilwoman
I,
you
know
we.
If
you
read
the
roadmap
to
zero
waste,
we
clearly
need
to
create
a
circular
economy
here,
so
that
we're
actually
recycling
our
recyclables
in
the
region
and,
unfortunately,
one
of
the
best
ways
that
we
could
do
that
is
pass
a
bottle
bill
at
the
state
level,
so
that
there's
a
cash
incentive
to
actually
turn
in
your
glass
and
actually
turn
in
your
plastics
and
actually
turn
well.
H
You
know
they're
states
like
Oregon
that
do
an
impressive
job
at
that
and
our
there's
actually
an
incentive
to
not
just
leave
it
at
your
curbside,
but
go
to
a
facility
drop
off
the
bottle
and
get
you
know
a
few
cents
back
for
the
bottle
and
they're
actually
able
in
Oregon
and
the
Pacific
Northwest
to
to
recycle
all
sorts
of
plastics,
and
it's
it's
done
locally
and
it
goes
back
into
creating
jobs
in
the
local
economy.
So
you
know,
in
addition
to
doing
what
we
can
here.
H
We
should
probably
be
lobbying
for
the
state
bill
and
legislation
to
pass
at
the
state
level
to
pass
a
bottle
bill.
But
that
said,
you
know
the
road
map
to
zero
waste
does
call
for
using
the
our
brainpower
that
we
have
here
in
Pittsburgh
to
developing
what
we
could
do
here
and
that
includes
Northeast
Ohio
and
then
includes
West
Virginia.
H
It
allows
us
to
get
away
from
allowing
plastic
bags
so
that,
if
we
can
ever
get
to
the
point
where
we
are
banning
or
putting
a
fee
on
plastic
bags,
then
there
is
an
option
to
point
people
to
we
can
say
here:
are
the
bins,
no
need
for
plastic
bags
anymore?
So
that's
I
mean
I,
realize
it's
a
lot
of
money
for
that.
H
G
F
G
Generation
actually
did
those
things
naturally,
and
we
had
milk
delivered
and
didn't
have
you
know
we
had
the
gallons
of
milk
delivered
and
not
little
containers
of
milk
all
over
the
place.
We
had
paper
bags,
not
plastic
bags,
and
then
we
reused
the
plastic
paper
bags,
but
I
want
to
say
even
now
we're
the
I
think
we
always
swing
the
pendulum
too
far.
You
know
we
go
from
one
extreme
to
the
other.
G
Yeah
inside
so
I
think
that
you
know
I
hope
that
we
don't
swing
it
so
far
that
in
a
couple
years
we're
going
down
the
road
and
saying
oh,
we
shouldn't
have
done
used
paper
magnets,
so
I
really
or
we
should
have
used
paper
pipes
without
you
know
chemicals
or
some
other
things.
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
evaluate
everything
and
think
and
use
a
little
bit
of
common
sense
of
what
we're
doing
this
so
that
we're
not
regretting
it
10
years
or
20
years
or
30
years
down.
G
The
road
and
you're
younger
generations
are
saying
I
remember
when
we
used
to
do
plastic
bags
and
that
now
they're
going
back
to
plastic
bags,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
some
thought
when
we
we
do
all
the
seven
I
mean.
It's
been
an
issue
that
since
I've
been
here
I
think
you
know,
we've
started
a
lot
of
the
stuff,
the
recycling
program.
We
started
the
anti-litter
campaign.
G
You
know
all
those
things
started
in
our
district
because
we
care
so
much
about
it,
but
I
think
that
we
I
wish
we
just
put
a
little
bit
more
money
and
a
little
bit
more
energy
into
getting
these
things
and
get
supporting
some
of
those
programs
here
within
the
city.
But
I
am
thankful
that
we
started
there
eerie
cycling
program
here
as
well,
but
I
just
wanna,
say
I
hope
we
use
a
little
bit
of
common
sense.
So
as
we
do
things.
B
K
But
then
to
provide
authorization
for
expenditures
not
to
exceed
$500,000,
so
I
can't
actually
figure
out
what,
if
we're
receiving
$500,000
doesn't
even
know
that
I
don't
know.
If
there's
someone
for
the
administration
to
speak
to
this
program,
it's
yeah.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
Thanks
for
coming
up,
but
I
should
have
invited
you
up
to
begin
with
I
apologize.
N
F
K
A
whole
amount:
yes,
so
there's
zero
tax
dollars
net
right.
So
why
not
vote
yes?
So
do
you
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
problem?
Not
just
that
plastic
bags
are
bad
on
principle,
but
also
I
think
that
an
additional
problem
with
putting
our
recycling,
whether
we
separate
it
or
whether
we
combine
it
all
on
bag,
the
bag
itself
is
problematic
for
the
system.
N
Right
now,
our
two
biggest
issues
we
have
with
recycling
is
the
bags
so
number
one.
This
grant
helps
us
to
finally
begin
to
systematically
bring
bins
to
our
residents.
The
second
issue
is
certainly
recycling
the
wrong
items,
so
we
we
collect
presently
bottles,
cans,
jugs
and
jars.
That
is
what
we
collect
if
our
residents
put
those
in
the
recycling,
that
is
what
we're
able
to
collect,
curbside
and
have
recycled
for
was.
N
K
K
K
So
there's
virtue
of
that
as
well
so
I'm
happy
to
support
today,
I
just
thought
it
was
important
to
clarify
that
we're
really
struggling
with
this
issue
and
I
know.
Councilwoman
Strassburger
has
worked
on
these
issues.
I've
been
meeting
as
well.
The
kind
of
coalition
groups
are
trying
to
help
us.
Reducing
waste
is
the
best
thing
to
do
not
having
the
ways
to
come
into
your
house
and
they
go
out
to
the
curbside.
Is
gonna,
save
your
tax
dollars
tremendously.
I
think
that's
fair
to
say.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank.
C
C
M
Think
Councilwoman
Strassburger
hit
you
on
the
head.
You
have
to
incentivize
it
and
it's
hard
to
incentivize
these
types
of
recyclables,
because
it's
really
not
worth
much
to
take
him
somewhere
in
my
business,
I,
recycle,
aluminum,
copper,
nothing
gets
wasted
because
I
get
paid
for
it.
So
you
know
it's
the
incentive.
Is
there
to
recycle
plastic
so
verall,
you
know,
I
have
a
big
problem
with
the
harder
plastics
because
they
take
up
more
room
in
a
landfill
or
a
dumpster
or
whatever
it
might
be.
So
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is.
N
Really,
with
with
plastics,
it's
not
say
like
a
can
that
you
can
just
make
more
cans
with
it,
the
the
chemical
makeup
of
the
plastic,
unfortunately,
with
the
science
of
recycling
it
typically
the
product
gets
downgraded
right
now.
So
it's
it's,
certainly
not
a
one-for-one
issue
so
that
that's
why
industry-wide,
we
really
kind
of
been
limited
on
the
different
things
that
we
can
successfully
recycle
and
turn
into
new
products.
So
that
tends
to
be
the
biggest
issue
with
with
plastics
yeah.
M
G
G
I'm
going
to
vote
okay
with
this,
yes
for
this
today,
but
I'm
gonna
have
some
conversations
with
the
residents
to
make
sure
they're
aware
of
it.
When
do
you
live
there?
I
should
just
come
over
that
to
talk
to
you
to
make
sure
they're,
okay
and
if,
for
any
reason,
they're
not,
then
we'll
recommit
it
next
week
and
hold
it
okay
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
E
G
K
E
H
G
E
C
M
Thank
you,
I'm
not
used
to
all
these.
You
know.
I
went
from
parks
to
public
works
now,
and
it
seems
like
I,
have
a
lot
more
paperwork
to
deal
with
Harry
enough,
so
so,
but
but
but
this
particular
project
is
in
my
neighborhood,
where
I
live.
It's
really
early
was
the
landslide.
More
than
anything
and
long
overdue,
we
had
blocked
the
road
off
to
make
it
one
way,
I'm
glad
to
see
it's.
Finally,
coming
to
fruition,
I
just.

A.
C
H
You
for
being
here
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
an
opportunity
to
ask
you
about.
You
know
how
this,
how
Cuse
end
is
going
I.
Remember
when
we
first
adopted
the
technology
I
understand
that
this
is
a
one-year
renewal
with
then
you
know
the
possibility
of
for
reassessment
in
a
year
or
so,
but
how
is
it
going?
How
is
the
technology
working
you
know?
Is
it?
Is
it
up
to
the
standards
that
you
would
hope
for
constituent
management,
I've.
O
Been
really
pleased
so
far,
they
continue
to
do
upgrades.
They
just
did
another
new
release.
That's
gonna
allow
us
to
put
service
requests
on
hold,
so,
for
example,
if
we
have
a
request
for
painting,
we
can't
do
it
in
this
type
of
weather
and
we
can
put
it
in
the
hold
status
so
that
time
doesn't
count
against
how
long
it
takes
to
actually
complete
the
task.
So.
O
Feel
that
it
meets
our
needs,
it's
a
lot
less
expensive
than
somewhat
with
some
of
the
other
bigger
cities
are
using
I'm
very
satisfied.
My
office
is
very
satisfied.
I
think
the
one
in
concern
I
have
is
the
backend
the
data
which
I
don't
deal
with
as
much
so
being
able
to
have
our
colleagues
access
that
ecology.
I
Perspective
we're
only
extending
for
a
year
because
we'd
like
to
evaluate
the
some
of
the
aspects
of
the
application
itself.
We
do
have
some
concerns
with
integration
with
some
other
systems
and
Hewson
has
been
working
with
us,
but
it
hasn't
been
able
to
integrate
as
much
as
we
would.
So
that's
why
we
only
asked
for
one
year.
We
want
to
evaluate
other
options,
but
again
it
does
meet.
H
Great
you
know:
I
know
that
our
offices
and
our
staff
rely
on
it.
I
do
personally
as
well
rely
on
being
able
to
view
it.
You
know
the
backend
of
things
through
q
send
in
instead
of
what
we
had
our
previously
so
I
have
not
heard
any
complaints
from
my
office,
but
I
wanted
to
have
council
members
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
and
to
find
colleagues
if
you,
if
you
and
your
staff,
have
not
been
trained
on
how
to
use
it
and
all
the
different
features.
H
I
highly
recommend
it,
because
it's
it
is
a
great
software
and
it
and
it
does
what
we
need
and
and
helps
us
manage
our
our
cases
appropriately.
So
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
K
You
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up
so
when
I
saw
this
bill,
I
didn't
really
think
about
the
data
back
end.
So
I'm
really
glad
you
brought
that
up
one
of
the
things
that
we
use
it
daily
in
our
office
as
well.
We
handle
a
lot
of
constituent
calls,
but
always
log.
We
always
log
three
one
one
for
them
if
they
haven't
already
called
because
I
know
we're
supposed
to,
and
it's
really
helpful
to
be
able
to
pull
up
previous
records.
K
That
kind
of
thing
one
of
the
things
I
that
we
do
by
hand
that
maybe
we
don't
need
to
or
is
this
I'm
gonna
tell
you
about
it
so
that
you
know
is
this.
The
kind
of
feature
that
you
can't
already
do
is
that
I'll
have
in
my
head
the
last
five
years
of
calls
about
a
landslide
area
and
Morningside
and
I'll.
K
That's
a
zoom
in
map
and
then
drawn
in
twenty
incidents
by
hand,
numbered
and
said.
Look.
You
know
this
is
geographically
clustering,
a
series
of
sinkholes
and
landslides
and
things
like
that
and
then,
if
the
engineers
were
able
to
say.
Oh,
you
know,
because
that
for
me
is
not
something
that
we
can
do
digitally.
We
can
for.
K
K
K
So
when
you
want
kind
of
more
integration
on
the
backend
from
something
like
cartograph,
which
Peter
would
say
is
moving
to
and
pl/I
is
moving
to.
What
are
you
thinking
and
I?
Don't
want
to
belabor
this
whole
topics
if
we
need
to
take
it
offline,
but
can
you
summarize
for
me,
like
kind
of
what
integration
you
were
looking
to
improve
from
other
products?

Number
20
resolution
approving
an
amendment
to
the
Articles
of
Incorporation
of
the
Pittsburgh
Water
and
Sewer
Authority,
so
extend
exterminate
date.
That
is
50
years
from
the
date
of
the
approval
of
the
amendment
to
Articles
of
Incorporation
by
the
secretary
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania,
adding
stormwater
planning
management
and
implementation
to
the
purpose
of
the
authority
person.
K
Got
people
here
from
PwC
say:
would
anyone
who
wants
to
discuss
the
bill
come
up
I'll
just
say
briefly
to
members.
This
doesn't
change
a
lot
of
the
other
fundamental
articles
that
we
have
with
Peter
pieces,
such
as
the
lease.
What
is
happening
here
is
that
when
we
especially
this
past
year,
we
borrowed
fifty
forty
nine
million
dollars
from
the
state.
Actually
part
of
it
was
grant
I.
Think
39
total
was
in
a
loan
from
the
state,
and
the
state
said
well
wait
a
minute.
We
want
to
give
you
a
25
year.
K
They
went
into
thirty-year
long-term,
but
the
art
of
the
corporation
of
the
PWSA
wasn't
there
for
30
years
right.
So
it
was
when
it
was
incorporated.
It
was
incorporated
with
a
set
number
of
years,
and
so
we
had
to
shorten
that
loan
term
so
here
in
the
future,
to
do
that
kind
of
borrowing,
which
is
an
extremely
good
deal.
It's
a
it
was
1%
and
ended
it
to
be
less
than
1%,
because
some
of
it
was
grand
rook.
K
So
it's
way
better
terms
than
we're
getting
from
anyone
can
get
from
Wall
Street,
which
is
you
know.
We
still
get
pretty
good
on
our
bonds
at
like
3%,
but
especially
when
we
have
so
much
massive
infrastructure
to
rebuild
all
right
when
Peter
would
say
was
created.
It
was
really
kind
of
like
you
know,
just
staffed
and
funded
maintenance,
but
we're
way
beyond
that.
K
G
First
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
weekend
we
had
the
water
break
in
the
West,
End
and
and
know
people
get
frustrated
as
Peter
was
PWSA
and
the
communication,
but
you
have
communicated
all
weekend
long
through
the
evenings.
Everything
is
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that
up
until
today,
so
I.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
that.
Work
on
that
and
I,
don't
say
it.
A
lot
of
thank
yous
to
PW,
say
so.
That's
a
big
one.
Okay.
K
Q
G
B
G
Q
Your
manager,
Public
Affairs
PWSA,
the
change
in
the
Articles
of
Incorporation
on
the
table
today
relating
to
stormwater
management,
are
do
not
substantively
change
one
way
or
another.
Our
relationship
to
stormwater
management
activities
what's
happening
there
is
that
at
the
time
that
PWSA
was
originally
incorporated,
the
municipal
authorities
act
did
not
have
a
specific
stormwater
category
in
the
list
of
purposes
for
which
an
authority
could
be
formed.
Q
We
just
thought
it
was
prudent
to
do
this
as
a
clean
up
item
to
clarify
from
a
legal
perspective
that
we
are
exercising
the
stormwater
powers
that
were
added
in
that
2014
amendment.
So
I
do
understand
your
concerns,
Councilwoman
about
the
flooding
situation
in
Banks
Ville
and
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
You
know
summer
Run.
Watershed
is
a
challenging
area
for
us
for
a
number
of
reasons
and
understand
this
concerns
I'm
sympathetic
to
those
concerns.
Q
You
know
we
are
working
to
address
them
not
as
quickly
as
you
would
like,
not
as
quickly
as
we
would
like
either,
but
we're
working
on
it
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
more
now
or
in
the
future
about
that.
But
just
rest
assured
that
this
change
does
not
have
a
material
impact
on
that
situation.
It's
really
more
just
making
sure
that
our
legal
documents
align
with
the
law
as
it's
currently
written
I.
P
N
G
Q
G
C
M
Jake,
thanks
for
being
here,
you
know,
you're,
not
my
water
supplier,
just
a
wee
little
piece
of
the
district,
so
my
interest,
of
course,
is
in
stormwater
management.
Medicine,
two
counts:
a
woman
kill
Smith
and
I'm
very
familiar
with
her
problems.
I've
been
up
and
hastened
Drive,
and
you
know
all
that
stuff
such
an
incredible
challenge.
I,
don't
think
people
understand
how
hard
it
is
to
try
to
protect
homes
and
things
from
water.
It
so
many
variables
in
that
it's
the
amount
of
rain
how
it
comes.
How
fast
did
it
rain
for
a
long
time?
M
If
that
grounds
hard,
it
comes
hard
fast
and
quick.
It's
not
absorbed
and
I
be
honest
with
you
even
have
some
of
these
issues.
I
feel
like
there
probably
isn't
any
answer
to
you
know
thank
God.
We
go
through
stretches
where
we
don't
get
flooded,
which
we're
in
a
pretty
good
stretch
right
now,
I
think
I'm,
scared
that
you
know
with
the
spring
might
bring.
But
what
is
what
is
your
budget
for
stormwater
management?
As
far
as
like?
P
The
record
Edward
Barca,
deputy
director
finance
and
treasurer
at
the
authority
as
Jake
alluded
to
him.
We
do
have
an
evolving
stormwater
plan
at
PWSA,
I
guess
a
as
the
plan
stands
right
now
we're
looking
to
put
north
of
200
million.
You
know
dollars
plus
over
the
next
five
years
and
a
stormwater
management.
You.
P
Program
develops
that
number
will
probably
increase.
I
expect
it
to
but
again
I
think
we're
just
in
the
beginning
phases
and
really
trying
to
get
a
grasp
on
everything
that
needs
to
be
done
and
then
moving
from
there.
But
you
know,
I
can
tell
you
that
you
know
we
have
a
bigger
commitment
to
stormwater
now
than
we
ever
have
and
that's
going
to
continue
into
the
future
and.
Q
Just
the
underscore,
that's
a
very
large
number,
and
that
just
reinforces
the
reason
that
it's
critical
for
us
to
have
this
extension
to
our
our
duration
of
the
authority
under
the
article
so
that
we
can
finance
that
plan
at
the
most
favorable
rates.
In
order
to
deliver
the
highest
value
with
the
lowest
cost.
To
our
ratepayers
and.
M
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
on
route
51
rebuilding
the
banks
there.
It's
all
going
to
be
very
helpful.
However,
you
know
when
I
see
what
an
councilwoman
killed
Smith's
district
at
the
Hason
project,
the
amount
of
money
that
went
into
that
and
effort
pretty
much
all
for
naught.
I
think
you
know
I'm
not
sure
what
kind
of
money
went
into
that
project.
M
But
my
fear
is
that
you
know
we're
throwing
money
and
the
things
that
aren't
quite
working
and
to
be
fair
as
somebody
who's
in
the
business
of
diverting
water
I
know
how
difficult
that
is.
I.
Don't
think
people
realize
how
different
they
think
you
just
put
a
drain
in
and
boom.
It's
it's
settled,
and
we
know
better
than
that.
It's
a
it's
a
gargantuan
problem
and
the
more
you
know
building
that
goes
around
us.
M
The
bigger
it
becomes
so
so
I
worry
about
throwing
money
into
things
that
might
not
work
and
I
will
ask
you
this
at
the
table
and
I've
asked
the
administration.
I've
asked
many
people,
a
simple
thing
like
when
you're
putting
two
hundred
million
million
dollars
into
a
stormwater
management
I'm.
Looking
for
about
a
hundred
sandbags,
which
might
make
all
the
difference
in
the
world
for
some
people,
will
you
commit
to
that
for
me?
Will
somebody
buy
me
some
sandbags,
please.
M
It's
amazing
I
can't
get
sandbags.
It
really
is
I'm
about
ready
to
go
out
by
myself,
but,
but
you
know
these
are
like
people
were
begging
me
all
I
need.
Is
sandbags,
put
it
in
front
of
my
garage
I'm
willing
to
do
it
myself.
You
know:
go
there
with
my
truck
with
the
sandbags,
but
I
can't
get
sandbags
I
mean.
Can
we
include
that
in
the
stormwater
management
fee,
I.
Q
Don't
know
if
we
can
include
it
in
the
fee.
We've
not
been
able
to
offer
that
thus
far
the
primary
concern.
There
is
liability
if
we
provide
those
materials
to
someone
to
do
work,
that
we
cannot
supervise
or
ensure
the
adequacy
of
then
there's
a
potential
risk
and
that's
been
the
major
stumbling
block.
It's
something
that
I'm
happy
to
look
into
again.
This
I
have
when
you've
requested
in
the
past,
but
that's
our
big
concern
and
a.
M
Big
like
this
Jake
pyaare,
for
you,
a
hundred
sandbags
people
will
you
talked
up
the
high
heavens,
honest
to
god.
You
know
because
at
least
looks
like
we're
trying
something
we
know.
Obviously,
that's
not
the
long-term
fix,
but
it's
a
short-term
gap
to
fill
and
I.
Think
people
would
really
really
appreciate
something
as
simple
as
sandbags,
I,
don't
know
it's
a
hard
piece,
but
you
know
can't
can't
can't
barely
put
a
dent
in
that
two
hundred
million
dollars.
I
would
say
so
I'm
asking
for
sandbags.
C
G
Want
to
say,
I
hear
what
you
just
said,
that
you
know
the
risk
and
where
there's
a
liability
involved
by
not
doing
something
and
so
I
mean
I'd
rather
see
us
err
on
the
side
of
caution
than
to
err
on
the
side
of
doing
nothing
and
then
still
being
sued,
because
we
allowed
water
to
flood
somebody's
home.
I.
G
Think
that
kind
of
thinking
is
what
PW
say:
we've
got
us
here
in
the
first
place
with
Peter
to
say
is
they
need
to
do
something
for
the
residents
and
if
they
want
sandbags
to
stop
water
from
coming
in
give
them
a
darn
sandbags?
It's
the
simplest
thing
in
the
world
and
I
mean
if
we
make
it
so
like
it's
rocket
science,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
get
them
sandbags.
Okay,
councilman
gross,
we're
gonna.
Ask
him
we're
gonna,
ask
you
again
again
till
we
make
sure
I.
G
To
be
honest
with
you,
I
went
to
a
borough
and
got
it
for
my
residents
before,
because
they
had
them
and
and
that
I
shouldn't
have
to
do
that.
I
mean
they're
right
payers
there.
They
in
the
city,
you
know
residents
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
not
in
the
borough's
I
had
to
go
to
the
ticket
bags,
and
it
was
somebody
who
helped
us
out
before
so
I'll
just
say
that
there's.
K
A
balance
I
think
between,
like
some
micro
situations,
that
have
ad
hoc
solutions,
but
then
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
can't
do
is
do
everything
ad
hoc
or
you
end
up,
not
spending
money
efficiently
and
intelligently
for
what
needs
to
come
next
right.
One
of
the
things
that
I
know
councilman
kaga,
also
likes
to
bring
up,
is
that
some
of
the
houses
in
his
district
just
should
never
have
been
built
and
are
just
in
the
wrong
place
and
no
amount
of
infrastructure
that
the
public
could
spend.
K
F
K
Not
every
square
foot
of
city
property
is
contributing
equally
to
the
runoff
that
the
federal
government
is
got
us
under
consent
decree
for
we
figured
out
what
square
feet
were
contributing
the
most.
So
20%
of
the
sewer
sheds
are
contributing
80%
of
that
EPA
penalty,
and
so
we
can
prioritize
those
and
we
will
get
way
more
bang
for
the
buck
out
of
each
tax
dollar.
Similarly,
when
we
did
the
LEED
water
service
land
replacements,
we
fought
with
the
state
for
a
year
to
get
permission
to
go
onto
private
property.
K
We
all
did
that
conversation
here
and
we're
helpful
in
getting
the
state
to
change
the
law,
and
then
we
prioritized
where
there
were
the
most
children
where
there
was
low
and
mediate
low
and
moderate
incomes
in
the
city.
People
who
didn't
would
not
have
the
means
to
replace
their
own
lid
water
service
line.
K
We
started
with
those
households
in
those
neighborhoods
and
then,
of
course,
where
there
was
a
density
of
lead
lines
on
a
street
so
that
when
we
brought
in
a
crew,
we
were
replacing
as
many
feet
of
lead
line
as
we
possibly
could,
because
they
were
clustered
together
and
it's
a
lot
more
efficient
for
the
dollar.
And
we've
done
how
many
thousand
now
about.
K
Six
thousand
homes
right,
they
were
prioritized
according
to
that
category,
and
so
you
do
have
to
make
choices.
If
we'd
run
around
doing
it
at
hoc,
we
might
have
missed
the
home,
so
children
we
might
have
missed
the
homes
in
the
low,
moderate
Erika
areas,
and
we
certainly
would
have
not
done
as
many
with
each
dollar
so
I
are
totally
totally
supportive
of
some
ad
hoc
solutions.
That
I
and
I
would
be
happy
to
talk
more
about
that,
because
I
certainly
have
the
situations
as
well
in
my
district.
So
we.
