Description
On this episode of CityTalk, John interviews Reverend Ricky Burgess from City Council District 9 & Daniel Gilman from Mayor Peduto's office.
A
Welcome
to
another
zoom
edition
of
city
talk
as
we
continue
to
operate
under
the
strange
new
confines
they're,
not
so
new
anymore
of
the
covet
19
global
pandemic
say
hello
to
our
first
guest
today,
councilman
the
reverend
ricky
burgess
of
district
nine
councilman
burgess
welcome
to
the
program.
Thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
that's
a
lovely
home
you
appear
to
have
behind
you.
B
Well,
I'm
here
in
the
living
room,
we've
been
I've
set
up
my
office
here,
so
this
is
where
I've
been
working
from.
A
B
Well,
it's
difficult,
I
am
being
careful
and
we
are
broadcasting
even
my
sermons,
from
this
room,
and
so
I
have
not
had
actual
church,
but
we
have
a
visual
chair,
virtual
church
and
a
virtual
bible
study,
and
so
you
know
we're
just
going
on
trying
to
still
connect
still
trying
to
serve
the
public
still
trying
to
do
economic
development
and
police
reform,
and
what
we've
been
doing,
of
course
lately.
B
Is
this
idea
that
black
pittsburgh
matters
that
that
means
that
black
lives
matter,
which
is
the
health
and
safety
of
black
people
like
communities
matter,
which
is
the
rebuilding
of
black
communities
and
black
wealth
matters?
That
means
establishing
more
home
ownership,
establishing
lower
more
ho
employment
and
more
opera
entrepreneur
opportunities.
A
Well,
I
know
you've
been
fighting
for
the
rights
of
minority
groups
and
others
for
many
years.
Does
this
unfortunate
crisis,
which
has
catapulted
the
black
lives
matter
movement
into
a
more
prominent
position,
actually
offer
an
opportunity?
Do
you
think
for
real
change
might
might
should
be
able
to
get
more
done
now
because
of
the
moment.
B
I
think
both
things
are
true.
I
think
one
thing
that
has
happened
is
kovic
has
disproportionately
affected
african
americans,
and
so
it
has
brought
to
light
a
lot
of
of
the
inequities
that
african-americans
face,
and
then
certainly
this
move
about
more
police
reform,
which
we've
been
doing
here
in
pittsburgh
for
12
years,
also
points
to
the
same
problem.
That
is
that
we
need
to
have
a
different
conversation
about
how
we
treat
our
african-american
americans
and
that
in
particular,
I
believe
that
we
need
to
transform
their
neighborhoods.
B
It's
not
just
enough
to
say
that
we
have
treated
them
wrongly.
It's
not
just
enough
to
recognize
that
we've
done
redlining
and
and
systematic
and
even
legal
oppression
and
the
whole
criminal
justice
system
is
designed
primarily
to
exploit
african
americans.
I
think
we
need
to
now
focus
on
more
than
that
which
is
the
rebellion
of
the
black
community,
and
that's
my
focus.
B
I
believe
we
should
rebuild
black
communities
for
black
people
by
black
people
with
our
friends
and
allies,
and
that's
been
the
core
of
my
work
and
continues
to
be
my
interest.
A
B
Well,
I
probably
have
been
one
of
the
most
strongest
supporters
of
affordable
housing
and
maybe
done
in
my
district.
B
The
most
we've
built,
probably
somewhere
over
the
last
10
years,
something
like
800
units
of
housing
and
the
flagship
or
model
of
what
the
city
will
look
like
is
larmor
alarmer,
which
received
a
federal
choice.
Home
grant
shows
you
what
a
stable
mixed
income
community
can
look
like.
We
put
alarm
of
choice
in
cornerstone
and
we're
still
in
now,
phase
three
or
four
but
you've
already
seen
now.
Market
rate
housing
coming
into
larmer
you're,
seeing
mixed
income
you're,
seeing
people
who
have
choices,
choosing
to
be
an
alarmer
and
you're.
B
Seeing
now
even
institutions
now
wanting
to
come
universities
and
other
things
wanting
to
come
and
put
their
flag
alarms.
So
it
gives
us
a
glimpse
of
what
a
community
can
look
like
and
it's
important
that
what
we
really
would
need
to
do
is
take
these
communities
of
concentrated
poverty
and
change
them,
transform
them
into
stable
mixed
income
communities.
It's
really
about
the
economics.
A
And
you
mentioned
black
pittsburgh
matters
and
you
guys
passed
the
city
council
that
has
passed
some
legislation
recently,
and
that
is
the
title
it
does.
It
offer
a
set
of
guidelines
or
does
it
have
some
teeth
in
it?
Do
you
think.
B
Well,
first
of
all
it
it
it
makes
us.
We
did
an
earlier
resolution
a
few
months
ago
saying
that
racism
is
a
public
health
crisis
in
pittsburgh,
and
then,
after
that,
we
began
to
establish
reform,
and
similarly
this
is
another
step,
but
it
talks
about
investment
priorities
in
terms
of
investing
in
african-american
communities,
investing
in
in
various
ways
investing
in
local
community
groups
in
african-american
communities,
investing
in
development
projects
in
african-american
communities,
investing
in
social
services
in
african-american
communities
and
investing
in
entrepreneurship
and
home
ownership
in
african-american
communities.
B
So
we
believe
that
and
and
also
calls
for
police
reform.
By
doing
these
things
systematically.
To
be
honest,
honestly,
what
we've
learned
is
in
order
to
rebuild
this
community.
No
one
thing
will
work
right:
housing
alone
won't
work,
education
alone,
won't
work,
transportation
alone
won't
work.
It
takes
you.
It
takes
the
wherewithal
to
do
all
these
things
at
once
and
at
scale.
A
I'm
sure
you've
heard
the
phrase
defund
the
police
is
that
something
you
believe
in
is,
and
is
it
more
changing
resources
and
where
you
put
them
as
opposed
to
just
taking
money
away.
B
To
be
honest
with
you,
I
think
that
they
fund
the
police
movement.
We
owe
them
a
great.
Thank
you
because
now
we're
having
a
different
conversation
about
how
policing
works.
You
see
in
the
past,
under
republican
leadership
and
even
some
democratic
leadership,
our
country
put
its
money
into.
B
Prosecution
incarceration,
mostly
programs
right,
and
so
when
you
do
that,
when
you
put
that
emphasis
on
on
incarceration
and
prosecution
and
criminal
justice
you'll
get
exactly
what
you
invest
in,
but
instead
we
need
to
invest
in
prevention,
programs,
intervention
programs
and
reintegration
programs,
and
so
it's
a
matter
of
changing
the
mindset,
see
more
police.
I've
been
saying
this
for
years,
simply
having
more
police
officers
will
not
make
our
city
safer.
The
way
our
city
becomes
safer
is
when
they
have.
B
B
That
would
be
correct.
Yes,
we
have.
In
fact,
we
have
legislation
on
the
table
right
now
to
take
to
begin
to
start
thinking
about
taking
the
equivalent
of
ten
percent
of
the
of
the
police
budget
and
put
it
into
these
violence
prevention
programs.
We
brought
many
of
those
programs
to
pittsburgh,
but
they
have
been
funded
on
shoe
streams
such
as
the
group,
violence
initiative
or
the
maryland
lethality
assessment
model.
B
They've
been
very
successful,
we've
reduced
homicides
to
the
lowest
in
in
five
or
six
years,
but
they
never
have
been
fully
implemented
we've.
Never.
We
have
street
workers
who
are
doing
the
important
job
of
keeping
young
people
from
killing
each
other,
but
they're
being
paid
stipends
instead
of
full-time
employment
that
has
to
change.
We
have
to
put
our
money
where
our
priorities
are
and
our
priorities
has
to
be
on
saving
lives
and
bringing
hopes
to
these
disadvantaged
communities.
A
On
a
personal
note,
are
you
you
know
suffering
from
claustrophobia?
Are
you
and
the
wife
getting
along
or
ready
to
kill
each
other?
You
know
I
hear
a
lot
of
stories
about
people
cooped
up
and
getting
in
on
each
other's
nerves.
Even
people
who
genuinely
love
each
other.
B
Well,
we're
in
our
30
we've
been
married
for
35
years
and
we've
known
each
other.
We
met
in
the
first
grade,
so
we've
known
each
other
a
very
long
time.
My
daughter,
who
has
graduated
from
college
and
starts
graduate
school
in
the
fall
is
with
us.
B
My
niece,
who
has
joined
us
from
from
new
york
is
also
with
us.
So
I
have
I
have
family
here,
and
so
I
we
find
I'm
still
working,
I'm
still
teaching
classes,
I'm
still
answering
email,
I'm
still
doing.
Zoom
and
constituent
concerns,
I'm
still
writing
legislation,
and
so
we're
still
busy
she's
working
still
remotely,
and
we
do
spend
some
time
together
watching
tv
and
certainly
lots
of
food.
But
we
are
we
are.
A
Absolutely-
and
you
mentioned
that
you're
doing
your
reverend
duties
these
day
from
these
days
from
home.
Are
you
getting
any
complaints
from
the
flock
who
are
anxious
to
get
back
and
congregate?
Understandably,
even
though
it's
also
understandable
that
that
may
not
be
the
best
idea.
B
Yes,
they
wanted
to
come
back.
They've
asked
me
to
open
the
church.
Again,
there
are
some
churches
who
are
who
are
opening
but,
as
I've
talked
to
the
medical
experts,
remember
the
targeted
group
that
the
highest
risk
group
is
african
americans
over
70
in
particular,
and
that's
the
bulk
of
my
church
are
senior
citizens
and
so
for
me
to
bring
them
back
would
be
to
put
them
in
high
danger.
Then
they,
you
know
their
grandkids
or
kids
may
come,
who
seem
perfectly
healthy,
healthy,
but
are
carriers
of
the
illness?
B
And
then
you
know
a
variety
of
members
of
the
church
receive
that
illness
and
it
will
be
a
death
sentence
for
them.
So
we're
going
to
follow
the
medical
advice
we
will
retrofit
the
church
so
when
the
time
does
come,
we'll
designate
seating
six
feet
apart
and
change
some
of
the
activities
we
will
slowly
move
forward,
but
I
am,
I
am
I'm
committed
to
maintaining
caution.
It
is
the
way
I
put
to
them.
B
If
someone
told
me
you
know,
if
you
do
something
it
will,
it
will
benefit,
it
will
benefit
your
family,
but
it
will
kill
one
of
your
children
right.
You
can
do
this
thing.
It'll
benefit
your
family,
but
it'll
kill
one
of
your
children.
A
B
Yeah
I
was
around
the
60th
afro
and
platform
shoes
and
you
know
lived
in
that
time.
This
is
the
most
difficult
challenging
times
I've
ever
lived
in,
but
I
think
at
the
same
time,
with
all
of
these
young
people
protesting.
B
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
most
hopeful
times
since
I
have
been
alive
for
the
last
I'm
63,
my
my
years
of
life,
racism
and
structural
racism
existed
and
most
people
denied
it
for
the
first
time
since
I've
been
alive.
People
are
now
openly
talking
about
the
existence
of
structural
racism
and
white
privilege,
and
many
of
the
things
that
I've
had
to
deal
with
even
on
council
that
were
insulting
and
and
and
discriminatory.
A
B
There's
lots
of
talk
but
no
plan.
I
think
that
the
next
time
we'll
have
a
serious
conversation
about
it
will
be
after
labor
day
in
the
fall.
I
think
that
our
country
won't
ever
get
back
to
normal.
I
think
we'll
have
a
new,
normal
and
and
certainly
it'll
be
closer
once
there's
a
vaccine.
You
know
once
we
have
control
of
the
virus
and
there's
a
vaccine.
I
think
you'll
see
us
move
inch
more
to
a
new
nor
a
new
normal,
but
that
new
normal,
I
think,
is
going
to
continue
to
have
this
remote.
B
A
B
Thank
you
much.
Thank
you
very
much,
john.
As
you
know,
I
have
been
a
big
fan
of
yours
for
many
many
years
and
I
enjoy
you
both
as
a
host
and
I
enjoy
your
comedy
and
I
enjoy
your
insight
and
your
wit,
and
so
I
do
want
to
tell
you
very
publicly
say
what
I've
told
you
privately
you're,
one
of
our
city's
treasurers,
and
I
am
I'm
a
big
fan.
B
I
think
that
we
have
this
moment
now
and
one
of
the
new
things
I
want
us
to
begin
to
think
about
is,
if
we're
going
to
rebuild
these
african-american
communities.
B
And
so
that's
I
guess
my
my
challenge
is
for
our
city
to
begin
to
rebuild
those
main
streets
as
a
first
sign
of
showing
that
real
transformation,
real
reparations,
real
structural
change
in
our
country
and
in
our
city
particularly,
is
occurring
that
black
pittsburgh
matters.
A
Well,
that
would
be
an
excellent
first
step
and
I
wish
you
a
step,
and
I
wish
you
much
success
in
reaching
those
goals
and
reverend
ricky
burgess
thanks
for
talking
to
us
on
a
zoom
edition
of
city
talk.
Thank.
C
Since
1982
city
channel
pittsburgh
has
been
your
home
for
your
government
over
the
last
half
decade,
we've
edited
over
a
thousand
press
conferences,
budget
forums,
award,
ceremonies,
psas
and
interview
programs.
Our
staff
has
over
six
decades
of
combined
experience
and
they
televise
over
150
city
council
meetings
annually
from
right
here
in
our
control
room.
A
A
Back
at
you,
so
pretty
fancy
surroundings.
There
I
see
you
have
a
vent
and
a
and
some
wood
paneling.
D
You
know
I
decided
we
should
keep
it
real,
which
is
basement
kids
upstairs
crying
steelers
t-shirt.
This
is
what
it's
really
like
to
try
to
help
run
the
city
right
now,.
A
All
right
so,
at
least
for
the
moment
all
kidding
aside-
I
I
remember
actually
interviewing
you
on
a
local
media
outlet.
The
day
it
was
announced,
you
got
the
job
and
I
sense
that
you
were
both
excited
for
this
fantastic
challenge,
but
maybe
a
little
bit
dreading
a
lot,
a
lot
of
work,
it's
going
to
be,
and
I'm
guessing
that
it's
been
that
much
work
and
more
because
it's
because
it's
been
complicated
by
the
global
pandemic.
How
are
you
holding
up
how
much
more
complicated?
Does
it
make
your
job.
D
I
mean
look.
I
I
every
day
am
grateful
that
I
have
what
I
think
is
the
best
job
in
america
love
this
city.
I
love
the
people.
I
work
with.
The
people
of
pittsburgh
should
be
incredibly
proud
of
those
in
public
service
who
work
for
the
city
now
more
than
ever,
but
year
round
every
year,
I'm
in
awe.
This
is
my
16th
year
in
city
government
and
I'm
consistently
in
awe
of
what
people
do
and
who's
go
above
and
beyond.
You
know
often
away
from
their
families
extra
hours
less
pay.
D
You
know
when
they
do
it.
For
love
of
this
city
and
love
of
public
service.
It
has
been
a
difficult
two
years
for
the
city,
though
I
mean.
Obviously,
we
have
dealt
with
tree
of
life.
We
have
dealt
with
the
global
pandemic.
We
are
working
through
national
calls
for
change
and
for
justice
and
equity
to
go
back
to
the
forefront
where
they
deserve
to
be.
We've
dealt
with
train
derailment,
we've
dealt
with
10th
street
bus
sinkhole.
D
A
Absolutely
by
the
way,
every
once
in
a
while,
I
drive
by
that
sinkhole
thing
and
it
seems
like
it's
still
not
completely
patched
up.
That's
a
long-term
project.
I
take
it.
D
I
mean
the
amount
of
damage
that
was
done
under
there
was
was
significant.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
thought
you
just
put
dirt
back
in
the
hole
and
and
cement
over
it
or
asphalt
over
it,
but
there
was
extensive
damage
done
to
a
lot
of
telecommunication
lines
and
steam
tunnels.
I'm
done
underground
that
take
many
many
months
to
engineer
and
design.
The
good
news
is.
We
are
a
matter
of
days
away
from
completion
of
the
work.
A
So
I
imagine
you
like
many
were,
if
not
surprised
but
disheartened,
by
the
fact
that
we
were
doing
so
well,
at
least
relatively
speaking,
compared
to
some
other
parts
of
the
country.
A
few
weeks
go
by,
we
open
it
up
a
little
bit.
Some
people
are
responsible
in
the
next
thing.
You
know
we're
in
the
new
york
times,
because
we
had
such
a
spike
yeah
is
there
hope.
D
There
is,
I
mean
I
I
think
we
all
had
hoped
that
with
quite
frankly,
a
combination
of
a
little
bit
of
luck
and
some
some
good
leadership
across
the
board,
not
just
from
the
mayor,
but
the
county
executive
in
the
health
department,
the
governor,
our
business
leaders,
labor
leaders,
you
know
who
really
came
together
early
on
and
took
the
necessary
action
that
we
would
avoid
the
big
spike
that
many
cities
saw.
I
think
we
always
worried
that
this
was
the
first
spike
in
that
there
would
be
a
second
fall
winter
spike.
D
As
you've
heard.
Experts
talk
about,
particularly
as
flu
season
comes
back
into
play,
it's
disheartening
without
a
doubt
that
the
this
larger
spike
you
know
roughly
triple
daily
average
of
our
our
first
peak-
has
come
in
the
middle
of
the
summer,
but
it
it's
clear
from
the
the
contact
tracing
that
a
lot
of
it
is
going
to
young
people
who
believe
that
this
doesn't
have
a
great
impact
on
them,
whether
they
believe
it's
not
real
or
the
impacts
of
it.
D
Aren't
that
bad
or
you
know
it's
worth
it
versus
you
know
being
at
home,
which
you
know.
Certainly,
I
understand
is
incredibly
difficult,
we're
seeing
that
and
we're
seeing
the
spread,
primarily
amongst
young
people
and
then
going
to
older
populations
from
there,
and
I
think
that
you
know
clearly.
We
just
have
to
listen
to
people.
We
have
to
listen
to
experts
and
follow,
follow
science
and
follow
data,
and
we
know
that
as
more
and
more
young
people
get
it
and
spread
it.
D
A
Have
you
talked
to
many
people
who
are
resisting
it?
You
know
who
find
it
to
be
either
a
political
issue
or
personal
issue
and
they're
like
I
don't
want
to
wear
a
mask
and
you
know
you're
trampling
all
over
my
rights,
and
all
of
that
I
see
that
I
don't
know
if
you
actually
come
into
contact
with
these
people
in
your
role.
D
I
don't
know
if
the
twitter
sphere
counts
as
contact.
Certainly
a
lot
on
social
media.
You
know,
I
wouldn't
say
there
are
a
lot
of
people.
I
I've
talked
to
who
take
necessary
that
position,
but
there
are
certainly
a
lot
of
people.
D
I
talk
to
who
believe
that
the
economic
harm
done
by
you
know
quote
unquote
being
in
the
red,
isn't
worth
it
and
that
the
long-term
harm,
whether
it
is
you
know,
through
loss
of
jobs
to
their
to
employees,
which
leads
to
hunger
and
poverty
and
eviction
and
foreclosure
and
societal
problems
there,
or
it's
just
that
businesses
won't
be
able
to
come
back
and
even
once
safe
to
to
grow.
Pittsburgh
won't
be
able
to
grow
economically
and
provide
opportunity
anymore,
which
I
think
are
all
important
conversations.
D
You
know
I've
talked
to
people
who
have
it
and
are
living
through
it
here
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
around
the
country.
But
you
know
it's
disappointing.
I
would
say
from
what
I
can
see
and
what
you
read
about.
The
us
is
pretty
much
the
only
country
on
earth
that
has
made
mask
wearing
a
political
talking
point
and
part
of
a
national
election,
while
in
many
countries
there's
political
differences
on
how
to
handle
it.
A
How
about
on
a
personal
level
are,
do
you
get
out
much?
Do
you
get
a
break
to
do
anything?
Recreational
or
you
know
as
a
distraction,
to
get
your
mind
off
all
this
stuff.
D
D
You
know
not
going
to
the
basketball
court,
we
try
to
keep
it
in
the
neighborhood
and
take
a
walk
around
the
block
and
play
in
the
yard
where
we
can
or
ride
our
bikes
on
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
our
house
and
that's
certainly
a
challenge
I
feel
for
my
kids,
but
at
the
same
time
my
kids
are
very
young.
I
certainly
really
feel
for
for
high
school
age,
kids,
kids,
who
lost
parts
of
their
senior
year
or
freshman
year,
college
or
senior
year
of
college,
there's
a
lot
of
them.
D
You
know
people
whose
weddings
are
being
impacted,
postponed,
canceled
people
whose
funerals
have
been,
and
this
is
having
a
profound
impact
and
is
going
to
for
months.
So,
while
certainly
I
can
say,
life
has
been
challenging
at
home
with
with
two
little
kids
and
you
know
more
or
less
I
haven't
haven't
been
out.
You
know
now
in
four
months
I
feel
very
lucky
that
it's
not
nearly
as
impactful
as
I
know
it
has
been
for
many
other
people.
D
No,
it
is
real,
thankfully,
no
we're
we're
not.
We
are
very
happy
happy
family
here,
but
it
is
very
real
and
with
that
you
know
we
keep
our
eyes
open
as
a
community
around
domestic
violence,
around
alcohol
and
drug
abuse
around
child
abuse.
These
are
very
real
societal
concerns
that
we
need
to
watch
over
and
watch
out
for
our
neighbors
for
a
lot
of
children.
D
It's
going
to
school
and
having
a
teacher
or
a
little
league
coach,
seeing
them
that
are
the
first
signs
of
a
child
in
danger
and
those
things
are
are
not
happening,
so
we
all
have
to
be
even
more
neighborly
than
pittsburghers
already
are
naturally,
and
look
out
for
some
of
those
signs
of
difficulty
in
someone's
home.
A
D
You
know
we're
really
not
going
to
push
it
I'd,
say
and
a
lot
of
credit
to
the
team
in
innovation
and
performance
who
took
a
city
and
got
them
working
remotely
in
a
matter
of
of
days,
you're
not
seeing
a
significant
drop-off
in
the
services
from
the
city.
There
are
a
few
that
are
definitely
more
challenging,
or
you
know
certain
types
of
permits
or
checks
being
cashed
that
take
a
little
extra
time.
But
overall
the
city
is
operating.
Our
essential
services
are
out
there.
D
You
know,
obviously
our
frontline
first
responders
and
public
works
and
inspectors
and
others
who
have
been
out
there
the
whole
time,
sometimes
in
more
dangerous
conditions,
are
going,
and
so
for
those
of
us
who
spend
most
of
our
time
in
an
office
anyways
I'd
rather
keep
people
home
and
keep
people
safe,
plus,
I'm
very
aware
of
what
it
does
for
child
care
needs
for
our
employees
as
well,
and
so
monitoring
what
happens
with
schools
in
the
fall
will
be
an
important
part
of
some
of
the
conversation
as
well.
D
A
And
I
know
the
school
board
is
separate
from
the
city
government.
But
do
you
have
any
thoughts
on
trying
to
go
back
to
school
in
the
fall.
D
I
mean
I
appreciate
you
know
not
just
here,
but
across
the
country
everybody
is
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
do
it
safely,
and
I
I
hope
there
are
opportunities
to
do
that,
but
I
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
challenges
not
just
in
pittsburgh,
but
anywhere
in
the
country.
You
know
young,
particularly
with
younger
kids.
Keeping
them
then
separate
in
any
way,
or
you
know
properly,
wearing
a
mask
at
that
young
in
age
is
gonna,
be
really
challenging.
D
But
going
back
to
my
last
point
without
schools,
you
know
not
only
does
it
that
hurt
our
kids
and
clearly
learning
is
impacted
with
an
equity
lens,
even
more
impactful
in
lower
moderate
income
economic
communities,
it's
hard
on
the
parents.
You
know
parents
being
forced
to
go
back
to
work
and
not
knowing
what
to
do
with
their
kids
during
the
day
or
forcing
grandparents
to
to
babysit
who
are
putting
themselves
in
more
jeopardy.
So
it's
important
to
look
at
it
through
the
entire
lens
of
society
and
not
just
one.
A
Reverend
ricky
burgess,
the
councilman,
was
our
guest
in
the
previous
segment
and
he
mentioned
that
he
was
hopeful
that
perhaps
racial
issues
will
get
more
attention
and
more
progress
can
be
made
because
of
the
current
prominence
of
the
black
lives
matter
movement.
You
have
any
thoughts
on
that.
D
Absolutely
I
mean
I
think,
there's
been
a
lot
of
important
conversations
being
had
in
people
looking
in
the
mirror
at
their
own,
their
own
bias.
You
know,
no
matter
how
proud
we
can
be
as
a
city
of
what
we
have
accomplished.
Clearly,
there's
so
much
more.
That
needs
to
be
done.
D
People
like
reverend
burgess
and
councilman
lavelle
and
others
councilman
strasberger,
councilman
gross,
have
really
talked
a
lot
about
these
issues
and
we're
seeing
a
council
pretty
unified
with
the
mayor
and
wanting
to
do
more
and
wanting
to
see
more
we're,
not
a
city
divided,
but
we're
lucky
to
have
strong
leaders
who
want
to
do
more
and
partner
with
the
state
and
federal
government.
D
But
you
look
not
just
at
pittsburgh,
but
at
every
city
in
the
country,
and
we
have
hundreds
of
years
of
systemic
failures
that
have
put
black
communities
behind
in
terms
of
prioritizing
in
budgets,
in
policing,
in
economic
opportunity,
in
redlining,
in
schools
and
mental
health
services
and
medical
services.
D
A
Well,
I
admire
your
resilience
and
your
positive
attitude
in
the
face
of
a
global
pandemic
and
everything
you
have
to
deal
with.
Chief
of
staff,
dan
gilman
thanks
so
much
for
joining
us
on
city
talk.
A
Good
to
see
you
man,
we
will
see
you
next
time,
thanks
for
watching
have
a
great
day.
