So.

to

a
little
bit?
Thank

G
Hey
he
said:
I,
don't
like
this:
it's
okay!
We
had
to
do
it.
You
know
he's
just
one
of
the
nicest
guys
I've
ever
had
the
the
privilege
to
know
and
that's
professionally
and
personally
he's
just
a
damn
nice
guy
and
you
you
you
whatever
it
might
be.
That's
going
on
I
I,
never
ever
hesitated
to
pick
up
the
phone
to
call
Willie
and
say
there's
graffiti
on
the
10th
Street
bridge
and
the
bridge
is
beautiful.
G
You
know
that
Richard
I
love
that
bridge
and
you
know
the
next
Willy's
like
yep,
we're
on
it
and
the
next
day.
It's
not
just
it's
just
you
know
and
he's
a
southsider,
a
lifelong
South
cider,
along
with
his
sister
Susie
here
I
knew
their
mother
Helen.
Well
his
brother
Larry,
and
so
we
just
we
kind
of
go
way
back
and
so,
but
you
go
further
back
you
go
way
way
back.
You
want
to
say
that.
G
Okay,
so
Willie.
This
is
your
life
okay,
so
whereas
William
Willie,
McCain
CPA
was
born
on
March
15
1960
to
wonderful
parents,
William
Robert,
McCain
and
Helen
Nell
McCain
and
is
the
fourth
of
six
children
and
whereas
Willy
grew
up
in
the
South
Side
Flats
playing
basketball
for
Southside
Catholic
grade
school
and
Southside
Catholic
High
School.
G
He
held
the
title
of
all-time
assist
leader
of
the
Southside
Catholic
High,
School
basketball
team
and
named
team
captain
from
1972
until
his
graduation
in
1978.,
Willie's
teammate
voted
him
MVP
in
his
senior
year
and
Willie
has
always
shown
strong
promise.
As
a
leader,
his
beloved
basketball
coach
at
Southside
Catholic
grade
school
coach,
Ben
savinas
wrote
to
Willie's
parents
that
he
had
the
ability,
the
personality
and
the
true
leadership
skills
to
fill
the
position
of
team
captain.
His
leadership
skills
continue
to
shine
when
woolly
was
appointed
as
Allegheny
County
Manager
in
August
of
2012.
G
Ed,
whereas
Mr
McCain
is
a

Morris
University
and
a
certified
public
accountant
who
has
worked
in
government
and
not
for-profit,
accounting
and
finance
for
30
years
now
he
has
served
nearly
the
entirety
of
Allegheny
County,
Rich,
executive,
Rich,
Fitzgerald's,
three
terms.
He
is
leaving
his
position
as
County
Manager
on
February
3rd
after
serving
over
20
years
and
we're
all
diminished
for
it.
G
In
addition,
he
has
participated
in
numerous
seminars
as
a
presenter
for
the
local
government
Academy
and
has
been
a
Budget
Finance
team,
member
of
LGA
pillars
of
good
government,
and
so
now,
therefore
it
be
it
resolved
that
this
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
does
hereby
recognize
and
thank
Willie
for
his
dedicated
service
to
the
county
of
Allegheny
and
being
even
further
resolved
that
this
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
does
hereby
declare
today
or
no
February
3rd
2023
to
be
William
McCain
day
here
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
You.
H
B
J
K
So
I
I
really
don't
like
the
recognition.
The
recognition
is
in
the
service
that
we
do
as
public
servants,
so
I
I
do
really
really
appreciate
this
and
for
city
council.
You
know
it
because
you
provide
public
service
and
and
I'm
here
with
people
that
I
work
with
every
day
and
I.
Thank
Jennifer
for
recommending
me
to
Rich
I
thank
Rich
for
this
honor.
K
It's
been
honor
to
serve
and
for
Amy
and
Susie's
here
my
mom
and
dad
and
it's
been
the
greatest
job
I've
ever
had,
and
so
it's
bittersweet
for
me
to
leave
I
love
government.
We
make
a
difference,
I
find
out
during
covid.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
complain
about
government,
but
I'll
tell
you
man
did
they
did
they
turn
the
government
when
they
needed
help
and
we
help
people.
K
You
know
every
day
to
have
a
Level,
Playing
Field
and
to
help
people
and
and
I
always
think
you
know
about
my
job
as
manager.
I
read
this
this
article,
one
time
where
someone
said
to
a
piano
of
people.
What's
a
definition
of
a
job
and
one
of
the
respondents
said:
there's
only
two
types
of
jobs:
one
job
is
to
keep
the
world
going
and
the
other
job
is
to
change
the
world.
K
So
my
job
was
to
keep
the
world
going,
while
the
talented
people
change
the
world
and-
and
that's
all
I
wanted
to
do-
is
keep
it
going
to
allow
people
to
change
the
world.
That's
what
public
service
does
so
I'm,
really
grateful
for
the
opportunity.
I
have
and
thank
you.
This
is
a
real
honor.
Thank
you.
I
J
I
Say
enough
about
the
work
that
that
this
man
has
done
over
these
last
12
years,
11
plus
years
I'll,
give
you
one
quick
story
that
will
will
something
that
you
can
all
identify
with.
It
was
the
day
after
Ash
Wednesday
a
few
years
ago
and
I
walked
into
the
office,
and
my
secretary
handed
me
a
note
and
said
you
need
to
return
this,
this
phone
call
and
it
was
from
Bishop
zubik
I
hadn't
gotten
ashes
and
I
immediately
turned
into
a
10
year
old
grade
school
boy
from
St
Lawrence
O'toole.
I
I
He
said:
Mr,
County,
Executive
I
knew
that
wasn't
going
to
be
a
good
call
when
he
started
off
with
that.
Our
fish
fries
have
not
been
approved
by
your
health
department,
and
tomorrow
is
the
first
day
the
first
Friday
of
Lent
that
we
need
to
do
this
so
immediately
I
get
on
the
phone
and
say
Willie.
Do
you
think
we
can
get
this
taken
care
of
be
it
said
that
the
next
day
all
the
fish
fries
were
open
and
online
and
I
know
you
guys
go
to
them.
I
B
Well,
I
pretty
much
set
them.
I
think
I
embarrassed
the
poor
guy
to
death,
but
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
have
done
for
the
county
I'm
going
to
acknowledge
what
an
amazing
family
you
came
from
your
family
has
done
so
much
and
and
is
so
respected
on
the
south
side
of
Pittsburgh,
but
also
Southwest
of
the
river.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
that
you've
done.
County
exec
is
one
of
the
best
choices
you
ever
made.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you.
I
also
have
pictures
Madam,
president
of
Willie,
in
his
shorts.
You
know
when
he
was
playing
Saint
Mary's
years
ago.
I.
H
Of
ammo
for
him,
so
no
really
I.
Consider
you
a
good
friend,
you
know,
congratulations
on
a
wonderful
career
and
we
were
talking
just
the
other
night
and
you
know
Willie,
as
you
mentioned,
was
a
very
good
basketball
player
in
his
day,
all-time
assist
leader
so
and
he
Compares
that
to
what
he
does
for
the
county.
He's
the
point
guard
for
the
county,
and
you
know
what
I
thought.
That
was
a
really
great
analogy.
H
You
kind
of
run
this
show
and
the
county
executive
is
always
the
first
one
to
say
he
surrounds
himself
with
really
good
people
and
Jen
and
Amy
and
Willie.
You
three
are
shining
examples
of
that.
So
congratulations
again,
I
know
you're
not
done
working,
but
you
know
for
your
next
step.
I
wish
you
all
the
best
and
glad
to
be
here
and
support
you
for
this
today.
Thank
you,
Willie.
L
Yeah
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
also.
Mr
McCain
and
I
really
appreciate
your
comments
today.
The
the
that
comment
about
two
kinds
of
people,
those
who
keep
things
going
on
a
daily
basis
and
those
are
there
to
change
the
world
I-
think
that
really
helped
enlighten
me
about
some
of
the
you
know
pushes
and
pulls
that
we
feel
on
a
daily
basis
in
this
job.
G
M
You
Willie
I
want
to
I.
Thank
you
for
your
service
when,
whenever
someone
knew
starts
in
my
office
as
a
city
council
office,
I
try
to
introduce
them
to
the
people
in
each
department,
who
really
are
the
ones
to
get
things
done?
Who
you
know
you
can
cut
through
any
kind
of
red
tape
and
they
will
be
the
one
too
they're
they're
your
ringer,
and
they
get
things
done
and
those
people
exist
in
all
throughout
the
city
and
throughout
the
county
and
you're
that
person.
You
have
been
that
person
for
the
county.
M
I
know
that
you've
been
a
go-to
for
so
many
people,
including
our
office
when
we've
needed
things
and
for
that
I
consider
you
an
unsung
unsung
hero.
So
thank
you
for
your
service
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best.
G
Yeah
may
I
go
with
councilwoman
Warwick
and
then
councilman
Wilson.
N
Sir
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
I'm
feeling
a
little
unlucky
that
I
just
got
here
and
you're
leaving.
So
you
know
this
is
great.
Your
your
words
were
very
powerful
and
especially
about
the
importance
of
government
you're
right.
It's.
You
know
this
government,
the
county.
The
city
has
done
a
lot
of
good
in
the
past
few
years,
and
that's
much
and
thanks
to
you
so
thank
you.
O
Thank
you
yeah
and
thank
you
councilman
for
doing
this
and
recognizing
you
know
William
McCain
and
everything
he's
done,
because
you
know
working
with
two
governments
that
are
ultimately
have
to
work
together
all
the
time
you
know,
I
appreciate
all
the
work
you've
done
so
I
appreciate
your
your
service
to
Allegheny
County
and
the
City
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best.
G
You
know
you,
you
know
if,
if
the
other
person
isn't
willing,
you
know
you
kind
of
have
to
move
on,
but
such
a
willing
partner
on
so
many
things
they.
You
know
they
were
largely
small
things,
but
it's
the
small
things
that
constituency
care
about
that.
That
really
really
hope
that
we're
able
to
accomplish
for
them
and-
and
he
was
always
just
such
a
willing
partner
and
I-
just
wanted
to
throw
that
in
there.
For
one
last
comment,
so
can
we
have
all
members
for
a
picture
I.
A
P
B
Hi,
how
are
you
it's
Bill,
peduto's,
sister-in-law,
right,
okay,
I
want
to
make
sure
I
said
that
right
and
you
can
talk
about
your
title
and
all
that
I'm
going
to
read
without
my
glasses,
so
I
hope,
I'm
doing
okay
here,
whereas
the
49th
annual
celebration
of
Catholic
schools
week
will
be
will
be
served.
Service
I'm
sorry
will
be
service.
Is
that
right?
B
It
says,
whereas
Catholic
schools,
national
schools,
we
will
be
service,
so
it's
Mike
staff
missed
something
there.
Okay,
I'm
thinking
that
doesn't
sound
right.
Okay,
so
we'll
correct
that,
whereas
the
schools
of
the
Catholic
Diocese
of
Pittsburgh
instill
passion
in
their
teachers
and
motive
and
motivate
the
children
and
to
achieve
to
the
best
of
their
ability
by
seeking
academic,
Excellence,
strong
faith
and
service
to
the
community
and
whereas
99
of
the
students
who
attend
Catholic
high
school
graduate
and
those
of
those
86
percent
go
on
to
attend
a
four-year
College.
B

gets
things
done

keeps
people
safe

I
want
to.

Want

declare
Tuesday
January
31st
2023
to
be
Christians.
That
day
here
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,.
G
G
V
So,
thank
you
very
much.
I
think
I'm
just
really
grateful
for
the
opportunities
that
the
city
gave
me
grateful
to
my
parents.
My
dad
who
made
me
become
a
city
police
officer
and
over
the
years,
all
of
the
opportunities
that
I
was
given
and
all
the
chances
I
was
given
the
support.
I
got
from
you
know
many
council
members
over
the
years
really
helped
me
to
to
to
develop
into
who
I
am
my
family
has
stuck
by
me
with
everything
policeman's
ball
selling
raffle
tickets.
V
H
Commanders
that
thank
you
for
your
service.
I
I
really
do
appreciate
you
when
you
told
me
about
a
month
ago
that
you
were
thinking
about
departing
I
was
really
heartbroken,
but
I
wanted
you
to
know.
Is
this
a
family
affair
with
the
Vets?
You
know
her
brother
is
here
who's
also
a
police
officer
and
I
believe
your
husband.
This
also
serves
on
the
force,
so
I
just
really
want
to
thank
you
for
being
so
responsive
to
me,
anytime,
I
needed
to
talk
to
you.
You
were
there
for
me
and
you
know
Opportunity
Knocks.
H
You
know
I
wish
we
weren't
losing
you,
but
good
luck
at
rosstown,
Ross,
Township,
correct,
so
so,
they're
gaining
a
great
Chief
I
believe
the
first
female
Chief
Ross
Township
has
ever
had.
So
thanks.
H
B
I'm
just
going
to
say
Commander
there
were
times
in
our
community
that
you
did
so
much.
You
were
really
good
with
the
kids
in
the
community.
You
were
really
good
with
the
people
in
the
in
the
neighborhoods,
but
especially
setting
clear
goals
and
expectations
and
making
people
understand
what
it
is.
You
can
and
cannot
do
and
how
we
can
do
things
differently
and
but
mostly
because
you
kept
the
lid
on
one
of
my
neighborhoods.
That
was
really
having
a
really
difficult
time
and
I
said
to
somebody
she's
not
going
to
be
that
person.
B
B
When
you
were
in
zone
six
and
helping
us
so
much
and
when
the
second
she
left,
we
started
having
issues
I
just
want
to
say
that
so
so
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done
and
wish
you
well
and
I
think
that
Ross
Township
made
a
great
great
choice:
I'm
hoping
that
Pittsburgh
can
steal
your
back
someday.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
is
anybody
else
in
the
family
want
to
say
anything.
G
B
And
we
have
I
can't
see
one
from
councilman
Wilson's
to
be
presented.
O
It's
my
take
your
time
Jake.
So
this
is
we
saved
the
best
for
last,
because
anytime,
someone
gets
a
gets
to
work
with
their.
O
You
know
one
of
their
School
buddies
from
the
past.
It's
a
it's
a
good
moment,
but
I've
also
had
the
pleasure
of
of
knowing
his
father
for
some
time
off
and
on
we've
connected
so
I
have
some
of
those
stories
as
well,
but
I'm
sure,
Jake,
aressic
and
and
also
his
mom
Stephanie
Flom
and
Grand
grandmother.
Edith
Schneider
is,
you
know
you
know
they've
come
here
today
for
for
the
proclamation
for
Jake's
father,
and
you
know
your
husband
and
son-in-law.
O
So
we
haven't
had
a
pleasure
of
meeting
but
I
know
all
about
this
guy,
so
I'm
sure
you
know,
Jake's,
probably
wondering
what
I'm
gonna
say
about
him.
I'm
probably
worried
about
what
he's
gonna
say
about
me,
but
maybe
I'll
just
run
through
a
couple
things
one.
Everyone
should
know
that
Jake
is
the
the
author
of
The
Shenley
experience
and
because
of
everything
that
happened
with
Shanley.
Well,
I,
don't
know
you
could
probably
talk
about
it.
O
Obviously
you
could
talk
about
it,
but
if
you
haven't
read
the
book,
you
know
I'm
employee,
to
read
the
book,
but
Jake
and
I
met
prior
to
that
at
Frick,
International
Studies
Academy
in
Oakland,
and
we
did
a
few
things
together.
We
got
a
couple
swimming
championships
together
at
Frick,
three,
two,
two:
okay,
it's
three
in
my
mind,
but
then
you
know
so
there
was
some
some
great
moments
there
I
think
we
kind
of
came
in
the
call
our
high
school
is
whenever
I
Met,
Your,
Dad
and
I
I.
O
Remember
coming
to
your
house,
which
I
had
to
come
from
the
north
side
and
they
live
in
Highland
Park.
So
I
had
to
travel
all
this
way.
You
know
across
the
river
or
go
over
there
and
they
were
like
what
are
you
doing
over
here.
O
So
I
was
in
the
East
End
and
immediately
when
I
walked
into
the
house.
I
was
like
you
have
a
library
in
your
front
in
your
front
room
and
he
and
his
dad
just
like
joked
with
me,
like
yeah
they're
books.
Have
you
ever
seen
them
before
so
every
time
I
would
run
into
it
because
he
was
also
at
well
you'll.
See
here,
you
know
he's
was
that
pit
a
lot
and
I
was
too
and
he
just
always
had
a
great
sense
of
humor,
and
it
was
a
pleasure
to
to
know
him.
O
W
O
We
come
to
this
point,
whereas
in
Peter's,
honor
Jake
worked
for
over
six
years
to
complete
the
Pittsburgh
novel
and
ensure
its
publication
and
whereas
in
on
January
31st
2023,
the
Pittsburgh
novel
is
published
by
Penn
State
University
libraries,
open
publishing
imprint
and
whereas
the
Pittsburgh
novel
includes
more
than
1500
novels
short
stories
stage
plays
Motion
Pictures
and
television
series
by
writers
as
significant
and
buried
as
Willa
Cather,
August
Wilson,
El
Dr,
o
John
Edgar
Weidman,
Michael,
Michael,
Chapin,
Stephen,
King,
Mary,
Roberts,
Reinhardt
and
Kurt
Vonnegut,
and
whereas
the
Pittsburgh
novel,
The,
Peter's
Visionary
concept,
will
will
reintroduce
Western
Pennsylvania
to
the
world
through
230
years
of
fiction
and
forever
memorialize.
O
O
Your
dad
would
be
very
disappointed
with
me
of
the
Pittsburgh
novel,
an
unprecedented
resource
which
honors
all
of
Western
Pennsylvania
and
further
be
it
resolved
at
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
declares
Tuesday
January,
31st
2023
to
be
Peter
resic
day,
and
the
Pittsburgh
novel
day
here
in
our
city
of
Pittsburgh
have.
B
X
X
My
family
and
I
are
so
grateful
to
councilman
Wilson
and
to
council.
For
this
great
honor
I
know
my
father
would
be
very
proud
and
embarrassed
in
a
good
way.
X
The
the
project
is
his
idea,
his
his
brainchild,
and
it's
just
an
amazing
thing
that
he
had
this
idea
informally
40
years
ago,
but
more
formally
about
10
or
13
years
ago
to
find
every
book
movie
play
whatever
ever
set
in
Pittsburgh
and
put
them
in
a
database,
and
part
of
it
was
really
hard,
and
you
know,
searching
the
internet
and
being
in
the
bowels
of
libraries
and
blowing
dust
off
of
things
and
sometimes
reading
whole
books
to
find
out.
X
They
don't
have
a
Pittsburgh
setting,
but
then
part
of
it
was
fun
in
watching
a
lot
of
movies
like
Striking,
Distance
and
sudden
death,
and
thank
you
to
patients
for
your
patients
to
my
wife,
who
had
to
watch
many
of
these
movies
with
me
and
insist
that
you
know
I'm
working
as
I
tried
to
complete
this
project
after
my
father,
passed
away
in
2016,
so
I
hope
all
pittsburghers
use
this
resource
and
find
one
thing.
That
was
his
idea
and
it's
such
a
great
idea.
X
Instead
of
just
listing
the
books,
he
lists
all
the
landmarks.
You
know
not
just
the
neighborhoods
and
not
just
the
townships
but
Shenley
Park
Forbes
field,
the
Highland
Park
Reservoir.
What
all
these
individual
landmarks?
If
they
appear
in
one
of
these
works,
you
can
click
on
them
and
find
all
the
books
that
are
set
there.
X
X
Finally,
here
yeah
I
didn't
know
what
you
were
going
to
say:
councilman,
you
took
it
easy
on
me,
I
I
remember
this
is
a
little
goofy,
but
I
went
through
this
quirky
phase
in
high
school,
where
you
know
my
lucky
to
have
my
parents
be
married,
my
whole
life
and
but
for
some
reason,
my
brothers
and
I
in
high
school
started
calling
my
dad
by
his
first
name,
Pete.
X
Instead
of
dad
and
one
time
my
dad
was
driving
us
somewhere
and
you
were
with
us
remember,
we
were
at
the
gas
station
across
from
Peabody
High
School
and
he
went
in
to
pump
the
gas
and
I
said.
Oh
can
you
get
me
a
drink,
Pete
and
Bobby
pulled
me
aside
and
he
said
I
thought
that
was
your
real
dad
I
didn't
know
your
parents
were
divorcing.
So
sorry
and
I
said:
oh,
that's
my
real
dad.
X
They
aren't
divorced
and
he
said
why
do
you
call
him
Pete
I
said
I,
don't
know
I'm
a
little
goofy
Bobby,
but
thank
you
again
for
the
honor
and.
F
F
Murder,
it's
all
fiction
and
what
an
honor
Peter
is
certainly
with
us
here
today.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
Thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
our
Diane
Hopson
and
Missy
Rossiter
and
our
community
engagement
office,
who
heard
me
said
that
I
needed
my
glasses
and
they
ran
down
me
a
pair,
so
I
could
read.
So
thank
you.

city

does
hereby
declare

B
All
in
favor,
aye
proclamations
are
approved.
Thank
you,
and
our
next
order
of
business
is
public
comment.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
the
roles
of
council
state
the
comments
are
limited
to
matters
concerned.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are
or
maybe
before,
city,
council
threats
and
profanity
will
not
be
permitted.
May
we
have
the
first
registered
speaker
in
the
first
registered
speaker
is
Matt
Mahoney.
J
Legislative
action
referring
to
youth
violence
in
our
city,
I
was
disheartened
to
see
the
the
the
sort
of
command
and
control
approach
with
imposing
a
hard
curfew
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we're
walking
that
back
just
a
little
bit
of
background
I
grew
up
outside
the
city
in
a
very
small
town
and
coming
to
the
city.
As
a
kid
was
always
the
biggest
Joy.
There
was
always
the
Allure
of
diversity
culture.
J
There
was
an
attractive
quality
coming
to
the
city
and
I'm
hopeful
that
will
come
to
a
solution
that
includes
our
youth.
That
includes
our
youth
voices
in
whatever
solution
may
come
or
whatever
actions
are
taken
by
city
council
I,
understand.
There's
a
committee
that's
being
considered
and
I
highly
encourage
members
of
council
to
include
our
youth
on
that
Committee
in
some
form
or
capacity
so
that
they
have
an
actionable
voice
at
the
table
and
aren't
further
marginalized
from
the
issue.
J
I
have
two
kids
myself
and
I've
learned
a
tremendous
amount
from
their
experiences
over
the
past
couple
of
years
through
covid
mental
health
is
a
strong
issue
in
our
communities.
My
wife
works
in
the
mental
health
field
and
I've
seen
firsthand
how
mental
health
issues
are
really
significantly
facing
our
youth.
We
need
to
take
the
issue
seriously,
but
with
a
compassionate
and
empathic
approach.
J
So
I
highly
encourage
everyone
when,
when
considering
this
issue,
that
we
invite
our
youth
to
the
same
table
with
our
adults
to
take
action
and
make
appropriate,
take
appropriate
steps
to
ensure
youth
have
a
voice
and
they're
part
of
the
solution.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
B
R
I
honor
my
husband,
who
is
a
truth
public
servant
from
the
1970s
until
2021.
He
worked
to
the
very
last
minute
he
was
allowed
to
work
baby
trees,
not
shady
deals
in
Bonaire.
This
is
for
you
Michael
here's,
the
situation,
one,
an
excellent
school
was
closed.
Two
the
building
has
become
a
threat
and
detrimental
harm.
R
R
The
residents
of
Bonaire
will
care
for
it
as
volunteers.
Why
are
we
paying
taxes
for
continued
detriments?
Why
should
we
pay
taxes
for
a
detriment?
The
Bonaire
Elementary
School
was
once
a
shining
example
of
what
this
City
public
school
could
be.
Instead,
the
Pittsburgh
public
school
board
has
chosen
to
squander
the
building
the
residents
at
the
time
of
the
construction
did
not
want
or
approve
of
anything
but
a
school
to
exist
there.
We,
the
property
owners,
taxpayers,
voters
and
caretakers
of
our
neighborhood
are
the
real
stakeholders
we
say,
take
it
down.
R
According
to
the
Pennsylvania
Constitution,
the
purpose
of
government
is
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
people
they
serve.
The
Bonaire
Memorial
Green
Space
is
the
solution
for
the
peace,
safety
and
happiness
of
the
Bonaire
Community.
Without
that
there
is
no
valid
governance.

it
was
written
by
Italian
chief
Douglas,
praskovich,
retired
Deputy

chief
Mike
Mullen
touched
the
lives
of
many
people.
R
His
uncompromising
dedication
to
his
sworn
duty
to
provide
for
the
safety
of
the
citizens
of
Pittsburgh
was
truly
exceptional
and
one
that
should
be
emulated
by
every
firefighter.
He
loves,
sharing
his
knowledge
of
firefighting
in
all
its
many
aspects,
to
make
our
firefighters,
safer,
smarter
and
more
efficient
on
the
fire
ground
Mike
knew
most
of
the
firefighters
on
the
entire
Pittsburgh
Bureau
Fire
by
their
first
name
and
was
always
approachable
regardless
of
rank.
R
If
you
had
questions,
he
would
stop
what
he
was
doing
to
answer
it.
He
worked
tirelessly
but
also
energetically
his
entire
career.
In
pursuit
of
more
knowledge,
his
legacy
will
serve
our
citizens
and
firefighters
for
years
to
come.

Your
officers
were
chasing
a
suspect
and
legitimately
didn't
have
just
cause
to
do
so
and
caused
him
to
flee
from
the
police,
and
my
brother,
Michelle
Rankin
were
killed.
I
also
want
to
speak
about
the
non-probable
cause.
Traffic,
stops
that
also
result
in
people
dying.
The
way
that
Tyree
Nichols
died.
B
B
B
B
Z
But
anyway,
let
me
give
to
you
out
the
scripture,
the
Holy
Scripture,
the
Royal
scripture
when
the
day
of
Pentecost
had
fully
come.
They
were
all
in
a
court
in
one
place
and
suddenly
there
came
a
sound
from
heaven
as
of
a
rushing
Mighty
Wind
and
it
filled
the
whole
house
where
they
were
sitting,
then
they
appeared
to
to
them
divided
tongues
as
of
fire
as
a
one
that
sat
on
each
of
them.
Z
Okay,
let
me
go
here:
I'm,
the
Lord
of
lords
and
the
King
of
Kings
I'm,
the
alpha
and
the
Omega
the
beginning
in
the
end,
I'm,
the
first
and
the
last.
Remember
these
words:
okay,
they
hear
it
and
then
the
sun
shall
be
turned
into
darkness
and
the
moon
and
the
blood
before
the
coming
of
the
great
and
awesome
day
of
the
Lord.
And
it's
your
coming
past
that
whoever
calls
on
the
name
of
the
Lord
shall
be
saved.
Z
Men
of
Israel
hear
these
words
Jesus
of
Blacklist,
a
man,
attested
by
God
to
you
by
Miracles
and
wonders
and
times
in
which
God
did
through
him
and
your
Menace
as
you
as
yourselves,
also
know
him
being
delivered
by
determined
person,
purpose
and
foreknowledge
of
God.
You
have
taken
by
Lawless
hands
and
have
crucified
and
put
to
death
whom
God
raised
up
lose
the
Pains
of
death
because
it
was
not
possible
that
he
should
be
held
back
for
David
says
concerning
him:
I
foresaw
the
lord
always
before
my
face.
Z
Z
AA
AA
So
it
was
this
weekend
when
I
was
listening.
They
talked
about
the
police
when
they
killed
this
young
man,
but
they
also
said
we're
going
to
have
a
policewoman
speaking
about
it
and
they
had
Michelle
brackney.
You
remember
her
I
know
you
police
officer
to
do
well.
She
went
she
was
working
down
south.
She
became
the
commander
down
there.
I
think
she
went
back
to
college
I
think
they
said
she
might
have
got
her
in
May,
but
she's
also
teaching
in
college.
Now
now
they
had
Michelle
and
I.
AA
Remember
Michelle
because
my
children
was
going
to
van
and
they
had
the
deer
program
and
she
worked
with
us
parents
very,
very
caring,
policewoman
now
I
wanted
to
bring
that
out,
because
I
felt
that
she
really
cared
about
us
and
she
would
come
up
to
the
school
and
talk
to
the
children
she
treated
the
children
just
like
they
were
welcome
in
human
beings,
not
that
they
were
not
the
time
of
the
place
to
be
bothered
with
children
as
Mr.
AA
Our
good
friend
says
Mr,
whatever
his
name
is
because
I
really
don't
even
want
to
speak
about
him,
because
I
was
trying
to
come
down
with
a
joke
because
I
was
thinking
about
my
mother,
my
mother
was
92
when
she
died
and
she
was
a
fusser
and
I
got
some
of
that
from
her,
as
you
can
tell
I
confess
when
I
really
want
to
well,
she
used
to
say
if
you
would
be
talking
to
Mom
what
Mom
Soto,
then,
if
she
thought
you
were
lying,
she
would
say
there
go
that
venomous
snake,
raising
this
ugly
head,
two
sprays
to
spray
that
poisonous
venom
and
that's
the
way
I
look
at
Gins.
AA
That's
the
way,
I,
look
as
yes
and
to
me,
I,
feel
like
well.
I
should
come
down
and
tell
them
that
joke
and
tell
them
I'm,
starting
them.
Where
I
can
laugh
at
you
the
same
way
when
Dr
Miller
was
talking
that
language
all
them
languages,
he
was
cussing
like
hell,
he
was
cussing,
but
you
don't
know
it,
but
you
say
we
can't
speak.
If
you
don't
know
the
language,
just
don't
try
to
act
like
you're
that
intelligent
this
man
is
a
smart
man
me
and
him
don't
agree
on
everything.
AA
But
I
do
believe
that
this
man
has
the
heart
of
a
human
being.
He
cares
about
people,
children,
even
you
sometimes
I,
say
some
things
and
he'll
say
well.
Wait!
Miss
Brown
now
look
at
how
they
look
at
it,
in
which
you
ought
to
be
glad
that
he
talks
to
me
a
lot
of
time
because
sometimes
I
would
come
down
here.
You
probably
with
throw
me
out
if
I
really
spoke,
like
Yvonne
wants
to
do,
I've
been
praying
more
I've
been
asking
God.

B
B
H
B
Madam
for
the
reappointment
reappointment
I
should
have
asked.
Is
there
a
motion
to
interview
a
motion
to
Red
receive
and
file
which
one
does
anyone
want
to
interview
me.
H
H
B
B
AB
In
Bill

informing

of
the
appointment
of
Stephanie
Thurman
as
a

B
These
are
pointing,
and
it
says
the
only
motion
can
we.
AB
T
D
B
You
I'm
going
to
have
just
a
little
discussion,
I
think
that
this
is
tied
into
our
pension
and
that
this
should
have
been
worth
an
interview.
I
think
that
if
something
goes
wrong
with
this
Authority
we'll
wish
that
we
had
had
an
opportunity
to
interview
at
least
some
of
the
people
on
here,
I
give
professional
courtesy
to
elected
officials,
but
I
think
there
are
some
that
we
need
to
know
and
understand,
and
maybe
I'll
call
for
a
post
agenda
on
the
parking
authority
to
see
what
direction
we're
going
in.
Thank
you.
D
D
H
G
Sorry
I
had
to
step
out
to
take
a
call
about
my
pending
surgery
can
I
chime
in
on
that?
Please
thank
you.
So
I
may
not
be
here.
I
hate
to
complicate
matters
I'll
share
something
a
little
bit
later
in
the
meeting,
but
I
do
think
it
would
be
hoove
us
to
to
interview
parking
authority.
Candidates.
I
would
agree
with
members
if
they've
so
suggested
that
we
do
that,
even
though
I
I
may
not
be
here
to
participate,
I'm,
sorry
or
I
may
be
participating
remotely,
but
I
would.
B
Support
that
can
we
the
have
a
professional
courtesy
for
the
elected
official.
G
One
of
the
reasons
if
I
may
Madam
president
is
the
parking
authority
is
so
tightly
connected
to
the
parking
enhancement
District,
which
provides
for
the
clean
team
and
other
amenities
in
the
South
Side
I
know.
The
councilwoman
here
wishes
to
pursue
a
it's,
a
Mobility
enhancement,
District,
but
I
believe
that
would
be
tied
to
the
parking
authority
as
well
too.
P
G
B
Okay,
anything
anyone
else,
I'm
just
gonna,
say:
I
I,
don't
know
the
other
two
people,
but
I
do
know
the
elected
officials
so
I'm,
okay,
there
I
just
don't
know
the
other
two.
So
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we
have
some
some
conversation
about
the
direction
of
parking
authority
in
general,
so
I
think
with
the
interview
will
be
great
and
if
we
need
to
we'll
hold
for
a
we'll,
also
have
a
post
agenda
as
well
and
the
next
time
I'll
be
more
cautious
of
what
I
allow
to
come.
B
I
actually
talked
to
Madam
clerk
about
not
putting
appointments
on
my
my
schedule
until
we
have
a
conversation.
So
with
that
second,
we
have
a
motion
to
hold
a
motion
to
hold
for
interview
in
a
second
correct
and
we
voted
all
in
favor,
okay
and
then
the
next
Bills
Madam
clerk.
Is
there
anything
else?
B
B
D
C
B
B
B
A
Y
B
B
AB
B
G
Yeah
I
just
would
like
to
to
recognize
again
the
importance
of
building
relationships
to
accomplish
the
goals
we
set
and
I
I
know
this
is
near
and
dear
to
your
heart.
G
Madam
president
and
I
know
your
intent
is,
is
good
and
and
I
just
I
want
to
recognize
you
and
mayor
Gainey
for
working
collectively
and
Cooperative,
collectively
and
cooperatively
to
to
to
reach
a
goal
that
is
somewhat
controversial
and
difficult
and
and
but
I
know
your
heart's
in
it
and
I
just
I
want
to
recognize
the
the
your
effort
in
reaching
out
to
mayorganian
working
collectively
cooperatively,
to
bring
us
to
where
we
are
today
to
at
least
have
a
a
healthy
discussion
about
how
best
to
to
intervene
and
protect
our
kids
that
are
so
vulnerable
today.
G
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilman
and
I
just
want
to
add
that
I
think
that
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion,
a
lot
of
conversation
but
I
apologize
for
not
bringing
this
to
my
colleagues
sooner
because
I
think
you're
all
blindsided
by
it
and
and
some
of
you
some
of
you
have
spoke
to
it.
You
know
briefly,
but
for
the
public
just
so
they
know
we
don't
have
to
ever
notify
council
members
or
the
mayor's
office
when
we
introduce
legislation.
B
I
think
that
if
we're
really
here
to
serve
the
people
you're
trying
to
work
together
so
I
apologize
for
not
getting
this
to
you
all
sooner,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
think
it
was
call.
After
call
conversation
after
conversation,
where
people
were
just
so
tired
of
doing
the
same
things
that
haven't
been
working,
and
so
we
wanted
something
different
to
try
to
like,
say:
okay,
let's
put
hit
the
pause
button.
How
can
we
save
kids
from
being
shot
every
single
day
in
this
region
and
I?
Think
the
mayor
shares
that
same
goal?
B
I
know
that
he
shares
that
same
goal.
I
know
that
we
all
share
that
goal,
that
we
want
to
see
less
violence
in
our
city.
We
want
to
see
it
less
violence
in
downtown
Pittsburgh,
but
we
also
want
to
see
less
violence
in
every
one
of
our
neighborhoods
and
in
the
suburbs
surrounding
us.
So
we're
trying
to
think
of
what
can
we
do
and
I
think
you
know
Resource
Centers
are
great,
but
getting
the
kids
there
is
going
to
be
the
conversation
I
think
that
we
have.
B
How
do
we
get
kids
to
these
centers
across
the
and,
if
we
can,
we
open
them
across
the
region
and
I
do
want
to
thank
pittsburghers
for
reaching
out
I've
gotten.
So
many
phone
calls
from
people
Thanking
us
for
taking
at
least
starting
the
conversation.
Taking
some
action,
people
in
support
of
you
know
what
we
were
doing
and
people
who
had
concerns
with
what
we
were
doing
but
I
actually
had
somebody
from
the
East
End
call
me
and
offered
to
bring
three
busloads
of
people
down
to
talk
about
how
important
this
is.
B
So
I
want
to
thank
those
people
who
reached
out
to
us
they
reached
out
in
big
numbers
and-
and
they
made
a
lot
of
comments
about
a
lot
of
things
that
we
that
were
said
but
I
think
in
the
end
everybody
has
the
same
goal.
How
can
we
keep
Kids
Safe?
How
can
we
get
them
there
and
can
those
Resource
Centers
be
something
that
helps
to
change
things
or
are
they
going
to
be
something
that
takes
so
long?
We
don't
have
time
to
you,
know,
save
a
kid
tomorrow.
So
I
think
that's
the
conversation.
B
B
Just
can't
imagine
this
being
in
any
of
our
communities
and
allowing
it
just
to
continue
and
and
I
just
I
do
want
to
thank
and
acknowledge
the
work
that
Reverend
Burgess,
councilman,
Lavelle
and
yourself
and
councilman
have
done
in
the
past
in
these
areas
and
I
think
that
you've
done
we've
all
done
different
things
in
our
ways,
but
I
do
know
that
Reverend
I
tell
other
people
this.
All
the
time
Reverend
purchase
is
one
of
the
most
knowledgeable
people
in
preventive
measures
and
in
terms
of
violence.
B
So
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
Him
in
his
work,
but
I
also
want
to
say
those
are
long-term
goals
sometimes,
and
so
they
take
a
while.
Our
kids
don't
have
20
minutes.
Sometimes
let
alone
you
know
20
days,
20
20
years
I
mean
sometimes
we
need
something,
an
intervention
for
the
moment
and
so
for
that
I
just
want
to
say
that's
where
that
thought
process
was
coming
from.
What
can
we
do
to
intervene
and
what's
occurring
today
on
our
streets,
because
it's
not
I
mean
now,
there's
innocent
bystanders
being
hit?
There's
children
dying.
B
You
know
that
were
innocent
bystanders.
This,
we
all
know
the
sad
story,
but
do
think
that
we're
going
to
have
a
public
process
with
this
I'm
going
to
appoint
people
that
work
for
the
city
and
elected
officials.
Our
Council
of
my
colleagues
and
the
mayor
is
going
to
appoint
the
people
from
his
administration,
who
are
experts
in
this
area,
who
know
how
to
get
a
center
open.
B
She
and
I
will
have
that
discussion
about
how
we
can
do
that,
because
I
wanted
to
be
that
we
have
a
very
public
conversation.
That
no
more
is
this
going
to
be
we're
talking
behind
closed
doors?
We're
talking
you
know,
making
at
our
meetings
trying
to
figure
out
what
we're
doing
the
public
wants
to
be
at
the
table
and
I
do
want
to
say,
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
want
to
be
at
the
table.
B
Who've
been
at
the
table
and
I
want
to
say
what
are
you
doing,
because
this
is
where
we
are
and
I
know,
there's
some
that
are
doing.
Amazing
work,
amazing
work,
but
maybe
those
are
the
people
that
we
want
to
say
they
need
lift
it
up
and
they
need
additional
funding.
They
need
additional
resources.
It's
a
long
conversation
I'm
not
going
to
have
it
all
here,
but
I
will
be
calling
for
public
hearings
and
post
agendas
and
we'll
be
scheduling.
B
A
public
process
with
the
mayor's
office
and
I
do
want
to
thank
mayor
Gainey
for
being
a
partner
in
this,
because
we
do
definitely
see
things
differently,
how
we
can
how
we
get
to
where
we
want
to
be.
But
we
see
the
end
goal
the
same,
and
so
I
really
want
to.
Thank
him
very
much
for
working
with
us
on
this
I.
Think
that
he's
eager
to
see
he
wants
to
see
his
City
stay
just
like
we
all
do,
I
mean
who
doesn't
want
to
see
the
city
say
so
with
that
said,.
G
One
more
thing:
yeah
I
hate
to
I
hate
to
even
open
up
this
conversation,
but
I
think
it's
it's
ultimately
a
necessary
conversation,
councilman
Burgess
and
I
go
way
back
on.
This
sometimes
agree
sometimes
disagree
on
this,
but
I
can't
help.
But
remember,
15
years
ago
this
Council
took
a
very
strong
stand
on
illegal
handguns
and
we
passed
legislation
that
is
on
the
books
to
to
ban
straw
purchase
and
to
track
to
track
illegal
Firearms.
It's
never
been
enforced.
G
A
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
state
law
and
the
the
particulars
around
it
I
understand
that
a
number
of
municipalities,
townships
and
boroughs
have
passed
throughout
purchase,
handgun
legislation.
Having
said
that,
I
can't
help,
but
wonder
that
a
young
person
that
was
born
that
year
is
15
today
that
young
woman,
that
young
man
is
15
and
is
it
possible
they
might
not
have
had
a
handgun
in
their
hand
today,
had
that
legislation
truly
been
upheld
and
and
enforced.
G
It
does
come
down
to
to
the
400
million
handguns
that
flood
the
streets
of
this
nation
like
a
cancer
and
our
most
vulnerable
citizens
are
young
kids.
You
know
with
you
know
their
entire
lives
ahead
of
them
are
being
are
being
decimated
by
this
unbelievable
inability
of
of
our
nation.
To
do
anything
about
about
illegal
handguns,
you
can
you
can
print
a
with
a
3D
printer.
You
can
print
a
handgun
on
a
computer
today,
Madam
president.
How
many
times
have
we
had
this
talk
at
10
o'clock
at
night?
G
You
know
no,
no
serial
number
no
way
to
trace
it.
You
know
you
can
buy
parts
online
today,
assemble
your
own
handgun
and
there's
no
tracking,
no
tracing
of
the
gun,
no
serial
number
and
you
know,
and
while
those
in
positions
of
power
and
authority
sit,
you
know
constipated
and
unable
or
unwilling,
not
unable
unwilling
to
do
anything
to
protect
our
kids.
You
know
and
reap
the
benefits
of
of
those
endorsements
from
NRA
and
the
and
the
like.
All
our
kids
kill
one
another
in
the
street.
G
It's
it's
a
crime
and
I
I,
honestly,
don't
know
how
we
will
ever
ever
find
solution
until
we
get
a
a
handle
on
the
the
this.
This
cancer
of
access
to
handguns
to
to
young
people
just
had
to
say
that
thank.
N
Yeah
I
just
want
to
say,
council
president.
Thank
you
for
sort
of
bringing
this
topic
up.
I
know
the
road
was
a
little
bit
Rocky
getting
there,
but
I
I
do
think.
It's
actually
quite
helpful
to
have
such
a
specific
ask
right
and
to
have
this
elevated
in
the
in
the
public
discussion
of
of
centers.
You
know
by
the
summer
centers
where
kids
can
go
at
night
and
have
activities.
N
I
do
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
the
Decades
of
work
that
Community
organizations
across
the
city
have
been
doing
with
our
youth
to
address
these
issues
and
also
how
great
it
is
that
now,
through
the
Stop,
the
Violence
fund,
the
the
money
is
there.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
point
where,
together
with
council
with
the
community
organizations
who
are
on
the
ground
with
the
kids,
you
know
who
know
the
kids
personally,
the
funds
are
there,
the
spaces
are
there
right
in
the
communities
churches,
whatever
whatever?
N
That
may
look
like
to
to
actually
to
have
just
this
very
specific
ask
right
like
like
event
whatever
it
may
be
events,
and
in
at
night
in
the
summer,
it's
always
helpful
to
have
a
very
specific
goal
and
I
think
that
this
committee
I
I,
think
that
this
should
be
a
fairly
straightforward
place
to
get
to
given
the
money
and
the
organizations
that
are
already
doing
the
work.
I
I
hope
that
I
hope
this
goes
smoothly.
So
thank.
Q
Q
Q
Recently,
there's
CNN
released
documented,
a
study
that
was
in
the
Journal
of
Nature
and
human
behavior.
They
did
a
global
study
on
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
on
children.
It
says
that
you
know.
On
average
children
lost
35
percent
of
the
school
year
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
that's
a
general
number
that's
worldwide,
not
specific
to
this
country,
but
it
also
says
that
that
number
is
significantly
more
in
at-risk
communities.
Q
Since
the
pandemic,
probably
at-risk
kids
in
our
city
have
lost
and
most
of
them
go
to.
The
public.
Schools
have
lost
somewhere
between
a
year
and
two
years,
academic
study.
They
were
already
behind
a
year
to
two.
They
were
already
behind
a
year
to
18
months
now
they
may
see
somewhere
between
two
to
three
years.
I
sit
here,
I,
rarely
say
this,
but
I'm
tired.
Q
Q
Q
We
also
know
at
least
the
beginnings
of
how
to
make
this
different.
The
study
says,
of
course,
longer
school
days,
year-round
school,
academic
support
programs,
all
the
things
that
I
did
for
my
kids
and
what
what
most
people,
who
have
a
little
bit
of
means
do
for
their
kids
right.
We
do
that,
naturally,
and
in
poor
communities.
Q
Those
things
are
wanting
a
year
or
close
to
a
year
ago,
in
April
2023
I
called
for
a
public
partnership
between
the
city
and
the
schools
to
begin
to
coordinate
what
the
city
does,
what
the
school
does
to
create.
All
these
other
things
that
we
can
do
the
resource
programs
are
actually
we
don't
really
need
to
study
them.
They're
easy
the
Resource
Centers
say
in
Philadelphia
they're
from
seven
to
two
o'clock
they're
in
community-based
organizations.
They
open
them
up.
Regionally,
it's
not
even
difficult,
not
that
much
money.
We
can
do
that
in
a
few
weeks.
Q
If
that's
what
we
want
to
do,
but
what
we?
What
we
are,
what
we
are,
what
we're
not
doing
right
is
we're
not
coordinating
a
comprehensive
effort
to
help
these
kids
in
Lumber.
The
kids
are
doing
better.
Why
are
they
doing
better
because
it's
a
comprehensive
approach,
their
housing
is
better.
Their
neighborhood
is
better
we're
targeting
their
skills.
Specifically,
we
know
how
to
do
this,
but
everybody
wants
to
stay
in
their
Silo.
You
know
they
don't
want
to
coordinate.
It
has
to
be
coordinated.
Q
The
record
the
kids
are
in
school
for
a
short
period
of
time,
they're
at
home
in
the
neighborhood
much
longer
than
that
right,
they're
in
school,
eight
hours,
they're
with
us
16
hours.
The
idea
that
there
is
not
a
public
coordination
between
the
schools
and
the
cities
is
almost
criminal.
I've
been
very
quiet
about
it,
but
I'm
actually
very
offended
by
it.
The
idea
that
we
will
not
come
together
and
do
with
the
best
interests
of
our
kids,
where
our
kids
can't
read
and
can't
do
math,
is
astonishing
to
me.
I
can't
kids
are
failing.
Q
This
is
an
emergency.
This
is
a
crisis.
If
you
want
to
every
study,
says
this:
you
want
to
figure
out
where
the
kids
are
going
to
go
to
jail
at,
do
it
by
area
code,
the
quickest
way
to
figure
out
where
the
kids
are
going
to
go
to
jail
at,
do
it
by
area
code
and
that
area
code
is
going
to
be
in
dilapidated
communities,
with
no
development,
with
no
amenities
and
bad
schooling,
and
we
know
their
future.
Yet
every
part
of
our
system
is
in
silos.
Q
The
school
board
is
by
themselves
and
the
kids
have
been
failing
for
two
decades,
but
we
are
like
you
know:
it's
okay,
the
school,
we're
kind
of
by
ourselves,
trying
to
do
our
thing
and
our
kids
are
still
shooting
each
other
and
failing
I
have
been
saying
this:
it
will
never.
My
son
I
have
a
son
who
had
something
called
blunt
disease,
which
his
knees
were
turning
outwards.
Q
and
they
said
to
me:
either
you
break
both
his
legs
and
reset
it
and
then
and-
and
they
said
this
is
the
way
you
do
this
Modern
Life
and
I
cry.
I,
remember
crying
and
the
doctor
I
could
not
bring
myself
to
break
my
kids
legs.
I
just
couldn't
do
it
and
the
doctor
said:
there's
a
there's
one
other
way,
there's
only
one
doctor
who
does
this
it's
the
old-fashioned
way.
We
don't
do
this
anymore,
we
don't
recommend
you
do
it,
but
there
is
another
approach
and
the
only
doctor
can
do.
Q
I
cried
about
it,
and
so
we
put
the
Staples
in
and
he
we
did
recover
from
it
right,
but
I
realized
that
I
had
to
do
something
because
his
disease
was
killing.
Him
was
going
to
make
him
bowlegged
and
arthritic,
and
him
in
later
life.
That's
what
they
told
the
outcome
would
be.
He
would
be
significantly
both
legged
like
not
even
both
like
his
his
knees
would
be
on
angles.
Q
It
was
starting
to
angled
out
and
he
would
be
crippled
at
a
in
his
middle
age
years
and
it
would
have
all
these
so
I
had
to
do
it
until
we
get
serious
about
making
sure
that
every
kid
in
this
city
can
read
and
write.
What
do
you
think
they're
going
to
do
what
you
think
they're
going
to
do?
They
can't
read,
they
can't
do
math.
What
do
you
expect
to
happen
and
we
are
talking
as
if
we
don't
know
that
we
know
this
and
it
just
sometimes
I
get
I
get
passionate
about
it.
Q
I
spent
my
entire
life
in
my
entire
career,
trying
to
help
kids
trying
to
help
students.
I've
spent
my
whole
life
doing
this,
and
it
is
I
think
I'm
not
saying
that
a
public
school
partnership
that
I
modeled
from
California
is
the
best
option,
but
it
I
don't
know
how
else
you're
going
to
get
everybody
all
the
sectors
in
one
place
and
coordinate
everything
at
the
same
place.
So
the
same
thing
we're
doing
in
schools
should
be
the
we
should
be.
We
should
be
supporting
it
after
school
programs
we
have
to
do.
Q
We
know
we
and,
and
then
we
have
to
coordinate
that
with
housing,
which
is
a
public.
We
have
all
public
Endeavor.
We
have
to
coordinate
these
efforts.
We
cannot
let
everybody
do
everything
at
the
same
time,
in
all
sorts
of
places
and
the
kids
are
failing,
we
did
and
I've
been
saying.
I've
said
I
introduced
legislation.
A
year
ago,
I've
been
saying
this
for
20
years.
I,
don't
understand
it
I,
don't
understand
why
we
cannot
publicly
partner
together,
bring
all
the
resources
available,
bring
the
best
Minds
together
and
say
these
are
the
best
practices.
Q
We
know
what
they
are.
It's,
not
even
a
secret.
You
go,
you
go
to
China,
go
to
Japan,
go
to
Sweden,
go
to
Switzerland
right.
What
do
they
do
with
those
kids
they
go
to
school
and
then
they
go
to
after
school
programs
and
when
those
after
school
programs
do
they
don't
color
they?
Don't
they
don't
color,
they
don't
make
kites,
they
don't
go
play
basketball.
What
are
they
doing?
Those
after
school
programs?
They
do
mathematics,
they
do
English,
they
do
foreign
languages.
Q
So
what
did
I
do
with
my
kids,
my
kids
I'm,
not
saying
it's
great,
but
that's
what
I
do
with
my
kids.
My
kids
went
to
school
and
they
did
two
to
three
hours
of
homework
every
day.
From
first
grade
to
12th
grade
every
day,
each
of
my
four
kids
did
after
school
academic
enrichment,
either
at
a
program
or
at
my
home
for
two
to
three
hours
every
day,
not
some
days
every
day,
seven
days
a
week,
12
months
a
year,
52
weeks
a
year.
That's
how
you
and
that's.
Q
If
you
want
to
really
do
this,
since
the
kids
are
two
and
three
years
behind
every
time
we
wait,
they
get
further
behind
it's
multiplier
so
that
when
they
come
out
of
high
school,
we
got
black
kids
coming
out
of
high
school
reading
that
seventh
grade
level
doing
math
at
the
sixth
grade
level-
and
we
know
this-
it
ain't
Secret!
It's
not
like
a
it's,
not
secret.
It's
in
the
reports.
Q
Until
we
do
these
comprehensive
coordinated
approaches
to
helping
kids
and
families,
this
will
never
stop,
and
it
gets
on
it
makes
me
annoys
me
that
we
do
these
things
in
silos
when,
when
we
know
from
other
countries
other
reports
of
the
studies
across
the
country
that
this
is
not
the
way
you
help.
These
kids
succeed.
B
Thank
you
Reverend
anything
else
from
any
other
members,
I'm
just
going
to
add
that
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
does
have
a
difficult
job
to
do.
They
absolutely
have
a
difficult
job,
and
yes,
I
do
know
that
you're
right
about
a
lot
of
kids
failing
there
and
we
do
need
to
do
something
but
I'm
going
to
say
Pittsburgh,
Public
Schools
doesn't
have
the
they're
not
afforded
the
same
opportunities
charter.
Schools
are
where
they're
able
to
turn
kids
away.
B
They
are
serving
all
kids
and
so
sometimes
they're,
educating
the
kids
that
are
coming
to
them
that
are
struggling,
that
they
are.
They
are
in
abusive
homes.
They
are
in
foster
care.
They
are
in
situations
that
they
can't
learn
and
don't
have
they're
hungry.
There's
you
know
they
don't
have
a
house
there's
all
sorts
of
reasons
why
kids
might
be
failing
and
you're
right.
We
need
a
comprehensive
approach.
B
I
see
them
creating
it
in
neighborhoods
that
were
stable
and
then
allowing
things
not
to
happen
there.
So
it's
like
they're
part
of
the
problem,
not
part
of
the
solution,
and
so
I
think
that's
a
conversation
that
we
also
have
to
have,
but
I
think
the
County's
DHS
is
something
that
we
have
to
talk
about
and
I.
Think
cyf
is
something
we
have
to
talk
about.
There's
our
kids
are
going
through
a
lot.
Their
families
are
going
through
a
lot
and
it
the
city's
reeling
from
it
all
we're
in
this
together
and
I.
B
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
things
being
said
and
a
lot
of
being
questioned
about
where
the
mayor
stands
on
on
different
issues
and
I
just
want
to
say,
I,
think
and
you
it
hurts.
Sometimes,
when
you
hear
people
criticizing
any
of
us,
I,
don't
like
hearing
any
of
you
criticize
I,
don't
like
hearing
him
criticize
not
like
hearing
previous
administrations
criticized,
because
what
person
wouldn't
want
their
City
to
be
great.
What
person
wouldn't
want
their
City
to
be
safe,
and
so
nobody
gets
in
these
jobs
because
they
want
to
see
Things
Fall
Apart.
B
So
it's
I
feel
like
if
you're
going
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
then
be
part
of
the
solution
and
the
media
is
part
of
that.
They
can't
just
sit
back
attack
us
attack.
One
another
attack.
I
mean
attack,
attack
people
for
the
things
they
are
or
are
not
doing.
They
have
to
be
part
of
the
solution
and
helping
us
to
bring
together
ideas
and
promoting
the
good
things
that
are
happening,
and
so
I
just
I
just
want
to
say
we're
all
in
together.
That's
it
with
that
said
the
bill,
hovering
I'm.
B
Sorry,
the
Bill's
not
ready
for
final
action,
all
in
favor
of
the
pastors,
but
I
remember
the
name
is
called
those
opposable,
but
no
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
rule.
