A
A
Those
of
you
who
have
been
paying
attention
to
the
city
of
pittsburgh
government
even
a
little
bit
over
the
last
decade
or
more.
You
will
recognize
these
three
people.
I
would
like
to
introduce
the
city
of
pittsburgh
city
council
budget
office,
the
brand
spanking
new,
the
bow
is
still
tied,
so
please
be
kind
pete,
ria
and
paris.
Welcome
to
the
show.
Thank.
A
Dave,
I
am
really
excited
to
talk
about
budget.
I
know
that
not
many
people
say
that
out
loud,
but
I
love
the
concept
of
budgeting,
but
before
we
get
to
that,
I
want
to
talk
about
your
personal
backgrounds,
where
you're
from
how
you
got
here
and
all
that
stuff.
So,
let's
start
with
the
brand
spanking
new
city
council
budget
office,
director
pete,
mcdevitt
pete:
where
are
you
from
how'd?
You
get
here,
why'd
you
leave
and
why
did
you
come
back.
C
Well,
I
grew
up
just
north
of
the
city
in
ross
township
I
went
to
california
university
of
pennsylvania.
We
like
to
call
it
the
harvard
on
the
lawn
down
there.
I
graduated,
I
got
a
degree
in
accounting
and
I
came
to
work
at
the
bank
of
new
york
mellon.
Eventually
I
got
married
and
my
wife
was
actually
a
city
employee.
C
So
whenever
I
was
done
at
work
at
b
y
melon,
I
just
took
the
bus
to
morningside
and
hung
out
with
her
during
the
capital
budget
session
and
then
six
months
later,
I
applied
to
a
job
in
the
budget
office,
not
knowing
that
that's
what
I'd
be
doing
and
so
then,
from
there
I
worked
in
asset
management
in
the
mayor's
office
of
management
and
budget
and
eventually
became
a
senior
budget
analyst
working
on
the
capital
budget,
and
then
I
left
about
just
over
a
year
ago
I
took
a
position
at
the
department
of
human
services
for
allegheny
county
and
then
I
quickly
shifted
again
to
duquesne
light
working
in
asset
management.
C
But
then,
whenever
I
saw
that
these
positions
were
open,
I
used
to
tell
my
wife
too
often
that,
like
I
don't
think
I'll
ever
go
back
to
the
city,
it
was
like.
I
was
trying
to
convince
myself
because
I
missed
it
and
I
did
love
working
here.
So
you
know
everything
came
together
and
I'm
super
happy
and
excited
to
be
back
and
working
with
ria
in
paris
and
just
jump
right
into
the
budget
in
the
middle
of
budget
season.
Awesome.
A
Awesome
well
welcome
back.
We
you
you
have
been.
You
are
a
a
face
that
people
will
recognize
if
they
watch
the
city
channel
once
or
twice
so
we're
happy
we're
happy
to
have
you
back.
A
B
B
Okay,
so
far
cry
from
what
I'm
doing
now
and
I
worked
at
deloitte
for
a
few
years
and
then
I
decided
to
go
back
to
grad
school
to
get
my
master's
in
public
administration,
and
so
I
went
to
the
university
of
pittsburgh's
gisbia
program
and
my
first
job
with
the
city
was
with
pa
careerlink
as
an
employment
services
coordinator
way
back
in
around
2006
and
after
a
year
of
working
there
I
saw
a
position
had
opened
in
council
budgets.
B
B
I
left
in
january
of
2018
because
I
decided
to
move
overseas
to
thailand,
so
I
lived
overseas
for
a
little
under
four
years.
I'd
say-
and
I
came
back
in
may
of
I
came
back
to
the
united
states
in
may
of
2021.
B
And
I
got
a
job
as
the
budget
manager
for
a
town
in
northern
virginia,
so
I
worked
there
for
almost
exactly
a
year
and
these
positions
opened
up
so
I
applied
and
I
had
a
lovely
job
in
virginia
I
mean
the
people
were
awesome
and
everything,
but
it
was
a
small
town.
I
I
miss
living
in
pittsburgh.
I
missed
my
life
in
pittsburgh,
I'm
you
know,
I
missed
the
the
diversity
here
so
yeah.
I
I
desperately
wanted
to
come
back,
so
I'm
back.
A
Because
I
would
say
that,
may
that
would
make
perfect
sense,
though,
if
you
were
sitting
in
the
same
exact
chair
that'd
be
great
wow
in
thailand,
I
mean
most
people
leave
pittsburgh
and
they
go
to
another
american
city.
But
thailand
is
I'm
assuming
not
in
idaho,
I'm
assuming
it's
the
thailand.
B
Yeah,
it
was
a
huge
jump,
but
it
was
an
extremely
positive
experience.
I
loved
living
there.
I
highly
recommend
vacationing
there.
If
anybody's
interested.
I
can
give
you
lots
of
tips
but
yeah,
like
I
didn't
plan
on
being
there
permanently.
B
It
was
supposed
to
be
up
to
five
years,
and
so
I
was
actually
supposed
to
come
back
right
before
the
pandemic,
but
I
had
you
know
my
flights
back
and
everything,
but
then
they
were
canceled
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
I
was
kind
of
stuck
there
for
a
few
months,
because
there
was
no
flights
back
and
then
I
saw
how
things
were
playing
out
with
the
pandemic
here
and
I
was
like
you
know
what
I'm
just
staying
here
for
an
extra
year.
A
Well,
we're
glad
you're
back
ria.
We
hope
we
hope
we
can
get
you
another
new
chair.
Maybe
you
know
some
people
who
know
some
people
maybe
update
the
venetian
blinds
too,
while
you're
at
it.
A
Yeah,
all
right
paris,
you
have
not
left
the
city,
but
you
have
you've
worked
for
the
city
for
a
while
and
but
you're
moving
up
literally
up
the
elevator
and
up
in
offices.
Where
are
you
from
and
how
did
you
get
where
you
are
now.
D
Yeah
so
I'm
from
pittsburgh,
I've
lived
here
all
my
life.
I
did
get
both
my
bachelor's
in
business
administration,
with
a
minor
political
science
and
human
resource
management,
along
with
my
mba,
with
a
specialization
in
fraud
and
forensics
from
carlow
university.
So
I
stay
local.
D
That's
you
know
stayed
in
the
financial
and
just
like
financial
part
of
things,
but
I
did
start
like
my
real
career
in
the
banking
industry.
D
I
started
off
at
dollar
bank
as
a
teller,
and
I
moved
over
to
pnc
dealing
with
the
online
banking
and
inbound
sales,
and
things
like
that
and
from
there
I
moved
to
the
controller's
office
here
at
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
As
a
fiscal
auditor,
and
now
I
am
in
city
council-
is
the
internal
accounts
monitor.
A
Okay,
so
I'll
make
sure
not
to
make
you
angry
with
the
things
that
I
like
to
do
in
that
room
and
for
that
for
the
council
itself.
Well
again,
I
don't
mean
to
gush
over
it,
but
we're
very
happy
you're.
All
back
are
here.
A
So,
let's
start
pete,
let's
go
back
to
you
when
you
were
with
the
city
before
you
were
in
the
mayor's
office
and
now
you're,
working
with
and
or
for
city
council.
What?
What
do
you
know
or
what?
How
do
you
think
your
job
is
going
to
be
different?
C
Well,
now
I'll
have
nine
bosses
instead
of
one.
So
that's
that'll
be
a
big
change
and
just
the
the
budget
processes
on
on
this
side.
You
know
the
the
official
city
budget
is
the
the
city
council
issued
budget.
C
So
just
it
was
kind
of
we
passed
the
budget
off
to
city
council
in
november
and
let
them
do
the
work
and
now
I
get
to
do
a
build
it
and
help
run
all
of
those
council
budget
sessions
and
really
inform
nine
different
people
of
what
what
money
they
have
to
spend
and
how
they
can
spend
it
and
and
hopefully
help
nine
different
people
meet
their
unique,
wants
and
needs
in
in
spending
money.
On
behalf
of
the
city.
A
Do
you
feel
any
fear
of
doing
a
lot
of
work
and
then
being
told
no.
C
C
My
my
first
boss
here
was
a
fellow
by
the
name
of
slim
forsythe,
who
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
slim
forsythe,
and
he
had
worked
in
various
positions
on
and
off
at
the
city
for
over
20
years,
and
he
sat
me
down
and
explained
to
me
what
he
called
the
eternal
sameness
of
city
hall,
where
a
young
new
person
like
me
comes
in
with
a
bunch
of
brilliant
ideas
and
things
that
we
can
change
and
improvements.
We
can
make
and
just
be
prepared
that
there
is
always
going
to
be
someone
standing
there.
C
That
tells
you
why
you
can't
do
that.
He
was
telling
me
that,
because,
like
he
didn't
want
me
to
get
discouraged
that
you
know,
change
is
hard.
That's
not
unique
to
city
government,
but
you
know
if
we
we're
all
here,
because
we
care
and
we're
persistent
and
people
are
going
to
tell
us
no
but
we'll
find
a
way
to
persevere.
A
Yeah
one
of
my
biggest
pet
peeves
and
it's
not
just
in
finance
or
or
at
work
or
in
my
life
or
in
my
personal
life,
one
of
my
biggest
pet
peeves
is
we've
always
done
it
this
way,
I
am.
I
am
a
huge
fan
of
new
ideas,
new
ways,
anything
that
can
save
me
time.
I'm
a
big
fan
of-
and
I
learned
the
same.
A
I
remember
slim,
coming
up
to
the
studio
a
couple
of
times
when
I
wanted
to
buy
stuff
when
I
first
took
over
the
channel
and
I
wanted
to
buy
stuff
and
he'd
just
go
no,
and
I
and
I
would
say
to
him,
but
why
not-
and
he
says
well-
we've
never
bought
something
like
this
before
and
I
said
well,
there's
always
a
first
time
for
everything,
so
I
I
feel
that
same
way,
sometimes
not
so
much
anymore,
but
I
felt
that
same
way
of
decades
of
no
moving
sitting
on
my
shoulders,
not
even
positive
or
negative.
A
Just
just
staying
put
seemed
like
the
way
it
was.
Everything
was
done
around
here.
Would
you
say
the
same
thing
when
you
got
to
the
city.
C
I
think
whenever
I
came
into
the
city,
it
was
at
the
beginning
of
2015,
and
I
think
that
was
like
change
is
hard
and
but
but
that
was
there
was
a
new
administration
at
that
time
and
they
had
a
a
year
under
their
belt
and
and
kind
of
starting
to
change.
Things
already,
and
you
know
we
we
made
great
strides
in
in
getting
buy-in
from
a
lot
of
people,
and
some
people
didn't
want
the
buy-in,
and
you
know
they.
C
C
You
know
the
system
on
their
ipad
to
enter
work,
orders
and
and
all
of
the
information
that
goes
into
it,
and
there
was
one
of
the
dpw
foremen
had
never
even
used
email
like
not
work,
email,
not
personal
email,
never
used
email
in
any
capacity
as
an
entire
life,
and
we
handed
him
an
ipad
and
said
here
you
go.
You
need
to
use
this
now,
and
you
know
he
there
was.
He
took
to
like
a
fish
and
water
he
he
was
excited
and
not
everybody's
like
that.
C
But
you
know
you
get
those
cases
and
it
really.
It
makes
you
hopeful
that
things
can
change.
You
know
if
we
stick
with
it
and-
and
you
know
we
listen
to
people
because
there's
people
who
have
been
here
for
years
and
years
and
years
and-
and
they
might
say
like
this-
is
how
we've
always
done
it,
and
we
can't
change
and
maybe
there's
a
reason
for
that
and
it's
important
to
like
understand
what
they're
doing
and
why
they're
doing
it.
C
A
By
doing
that,
I
think
that
it's
it's
a
great
point
of
not
only
how
government
can
change
but
make
everything
more
efficient
and
it
kind
of
start
well,
not
kind
of
it
actually
starts
with
you
guys,
the
three
of
you
and
making
sure
that
the
the
money
is
there.
So
we
can
have
the
toys
and
tools
to
do
the
work.
C
It
absolutely
is
yeah,
I
would
say
so.
You
know
the
the
city's
budget
is
is
basically
the
chief
policy
document
of
the
city.
If
we
want
to
accomplish
anything,
we're
going
to
need
to
be
able
to
spend
money
to
do
it.
So
it's
important
that
we
work
with
council
members
in
the
mayor's
office
to
to
build
a
budget
that
allows
us
to
achieve
all
the
policies
that
we
want
to
put
in
place.
A
Ria,
when,
when
you
were
here,
I
think
you
said
2006,
I'm
guessing
that
the
budget
was
done
on
the
the
old
spread.
The
old
paper
spreadsheet
that
my
dad
used
to
use
every
saturday
morning,
the
ledger
sheet.
You
know
with
the
big
binder
and
he'd
open
it
up
and
he'd
turn
to
the
right
date
and
the
right
line
and
fill
it
all
out
on
a
saturday
morning
before
he
went
to
the
bank
to
visit
all
his
money.
That's
actually
what
he
said.
A
He'd
go
visit,
his
money,
I
joke,
but
I
I
almost
think
that
I'm
kind
of
right
what
what.
B
So
not
quite
that
bad,
like
it
wasn't
on
any
sort
of
paper,
but
no
back
whenever
I
started
the
budget
was
a
combination
of
multiple,
very
complex,
excel
spreadsheets
microsoft,
word
documents,
powerpoint,
slides,
org,
charts
a
number
of
things.
It
was
dozens
of
files
that
you
would
just
piece
together
in
order
to
to
compose
the
budget
documents,
and
we
finally
went
to
a
budget
system
in
around.
Was
it
2016?
B
I
think
so.
It
was
that
recent
recently
that
we
went
to
actual
budgeting
software,
and
that
was
life-changing.
I
think
that
the
amount
of
time
that
that
saved
going
from
the
old
system
to
a
budgeting
system
it
would
I
I
actually
a
long
time
ago.
I
did
compile
statistics
on
how
much
how
many
hours
it
saved
in
staff
time
and
and
then
also
we
went
to
what
was
called
a
workiva
to
actually
publish
the
documents.
D
B
Was
amazing,
like
changes
like
the
mayor's
office
may
have
made
like
a
simple
five
thousand
dollar
change
which,
in
your
head,
that's
not
much
of
a
change,
but
that
could
impact
up
to
30
pages
of
the
budget
document,
and
so
we
have
to
before.
We
had
the
budgeting
software
and
the
publishing
software.
B
A
If
I'm
understanding
you
correctly,
because
I
am
a
budget-
I
mean-
I
understand-
budgeting
on
a
much
smaller
scale.
But
if
I'm
understanding
you
correctly
making
a
five
thousand
dollar
change,
my
father
would
have
had
to
go
back
about
100
pages
in
his
ledger
book,
trying
to
figure
out
where
his
17
cents
was,
as
he
was
trying
to
balance
many
different
accounts
in
many
different
banks
for
a
for
a
for
a
home
budget.
I'm
assuming
it's
not
as
big
a
deal
as
a
company
budget.
That's
600
million
dollars!
A
So
when,
when
you
are
able
to
make
a
five
thousand
dollar
change
in
any
budget,
and
it
changes
on
30
different
pages
of
the
final
document,
you're
looking
at,
are
you
saving
10
hours
20
hours?
What
do
you
think
you're
saving
by
by
having
the
budgeting
software
rather
than
excel,
spreadsheets.
B
So
I
would
say
that
that
change
could
could
save
about
like
15
hours
in
staff
time.
A
D
B
So
I
basically
had
to
go
backwards
and
work
in
that
system.
Again
it
was
so
painful,
and
while
I
was
there,
I
actually
was
able
to
purchase
budget
software,
and
I
was
in
the
process
of
implementing
budget
software
there.
But
then
I
got
hired
here,
so
this
project
can
smell
into
somebody
else.
So.
A
Of
it,
okay,
when
I
started
with
the
city
in
2013,
we
were
still
recording
on
videotape
here
and
I
hadn't
recorded
on
videotape
in
over
a
decade
of
my
career,
so
you're.
So
the
what
you
were
just
saying
about
having
to
go
back,
having
to
go
backward
totally
understand
that
I
I
was
teaching
myself
technologies
that
I
thought
were
dead.
I
had
a
younger
co-worker
who
had
never
recorded
anything
on
videotape,
much
younger.
He
was
23
or
24
at
the
time
and
the
concepts
I
was
trying
to
teach
him.
A
He
wasn't
understanding
at
all.
I
thought
that
was
so
as
soon
as
I
took
over
the
channel.
I
started
throwing
away
a
lot
of
things
that
were
old
and
unnecessary.
A
Yeah,
yes,
we
had
a.
We
had
a
300
pound,
1982
audio
mixer.
The
person
who
bought
it
off
gov
deals
we
put
in
the
description
must
bring
a
dolly
because
I
wasn't
picking
it
up
again.
D
A
So
paris,
now
that
you're
working
in
the
council
office.
How
is
your,
what
were
you
doing
with
the
with
the
controller's
office
and
how
does
it
compare
or
contrast
to
what
you're
doing
now
with
the
console
office.
D
Yeah,
so
in
the
controller's
office
I
was
basically
auditing
different
trust
funds.
So,
for
example,
looking
at
purchases
like
madeleine
p
cards
make
sure
that
it's
following
the
p-card
policy
and
looking
at
different
documentation
making
sure
it
had
all
the
correct
approvals
before
it
was
sent
off
all
right.
D
Now,
I'm
on
the
other
side
of
that
I'm
actually
the
one
using
the
p
card
now
and
making
the
different
purchases
that
need
certain
approvals
and
go
through
different
channels
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
what
we
need
or
getting
what
we
want
in
order
for
our
operations
to
be
a
lot
smoother
during
the
day.
A
D
Yes,
so
now
we
don't
have
to
backtrack
like
someone,
someone
such
as
myself
having
the
knowledge
of
how
things
are
in
the
end
or
how
they
should
be
in
the
end.
I
can
now
apply
those
in
the
beginning,
so
we're
not
constantly
backtracking
to
make
sure.
Oh,
we
didn't
do
this
right.
We
have
to
go
back
and
do
it
like
this
now
it's
already
been
done
right,
the
first
time,
so
we
can
just
keep
it
moving.
D
So
yeah
it's
a
purchasing
card
and
I
believe
it's
up
to
5
000
the
purchase
a
purchase
can
be
made.
It
has
to
go
through
the
proper
approvals,
of
course,
and
proper
documentation
needs
to
be.
You
know,
corresponding
with
whatever
that
purchase
is
made.
So
it's
a
purchasing
card
that
allows
us
to
get
things
that
are
not
off
that
are
not
on
contract
but
still
fit
within
the
policy.
A
So
when
you
ever
get
something
from
me,
I
needed
it
yesterday
and
I'm
sorry
and
I'm
sorry,
I'm
saying
that
this
is
my
blanket
sorry
to
every
budget
person
in
this
building.
I
am
so
sorry
and
I'll
also
take
the
blame.
I've
dropped,
something
that
I
shouldn't
have
and
I
hope
to
not
do
it
again
until
the
next
time,
so
so
now
that
you're
on
the
front
end
purchasing,
are
you
thinking?
D
Kinda
support
guys
so
with
council
there's
different.
You
know
we
have
different
jurisdictions
up
here,
so
some
rules
or
most
rules
that
apply
maybe
to
other
departments,
don't
necessarily
carry
over
here,
because
you
know
they
they're,
they
decide
basically
what
they
do
and
they
can
implement
what
you
know
what
they
want
to
do.
So
we
just
basically
follow
that,
but
I
do
follow
it.
An
audit
is
making
sure
that
everything's
like
approved
everything's
permissible
and
that
it
makes
sense
like
we're
just
not
purchasing
random.
A
P,
you
brought
up
a
point
earlier
that
I
want
to
come
back
to
going
from
one
or
two
bosses
to
nine.
So
ria,
I
think
again.
I
know
I
think
I
know
the
answer
to
this
because
of
your
past
history
with
the
council
budget
office,
but
what's
it
going
to
be
like
going
from
one
or
two
bosses
from
previous
budget
offices
to
now
nine?
What's
that
going
to
be
like
for
you,
one
of
the.
C
The
perks
of
this
position
is,
I'm
not
I'm
not
the
decision
maker.
Unfortunately,
it
falls
to
them.
They
have
to
be
the
ones
that
make
the
final
decision,
and
I
I'll
do
my
best
to
provide
them
with
information,
and
you
know
whenever
they
want
it
if
they
ever
wanted
opinions,
but
they
have
to
be
the
ones
that
make
the
final
decision,
and
I
fully
respect
that.
C
I
don't
envy
that
so
I
I
really
just
want
to
do
the
best
I
can
to
support
them
so
that
they
can
best
make
the
best
decisions
possible
and
also
understanding
that
not
everyone's
going
to
be
happy.
B
Yeah
and
just
to
build
on
that,
I
mean
we're:
just
we
just
have
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible,
and
the
only
real
difference
is
that
I
mean
we
might
rather
than
having
one
meeting
with
one
boss.
We
might
have
be
having
nine
different
meetings,
you
know,
but
providing
the
same
information
but
yeah.
We
just
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible
and
you
know
give
our
recommendations
so
that
doesn't
change
right
there.
It.
D
Just
shows
like
it,
it
builds
on
our
communication
skills,
right
learning,
how
to
communicate
with
different
personalities,
and
sometimes
you
have
to
convey
the
message
differently
to
different
people
based
on
how
you
know
they
receive
information
so
right.
That's
all
it
is
just
being
able
to
alter
and
adjust
when
you
need
to
alter
and
adjust.
A
A
There
was
a
different
budget
director
and
now
they're
going
to
come
back
from
break
in
a
few,
we're
again
recording
this
in
the
middle
of
summer
break
but
and
there's
going
to
be
a
new
budget
director,
and
how
did
that
happen
from
an
from
a
I
mean.
This
is
like
a
this
is
like
a
series
on
some
streaming
platform
that
didn't
explain
why
the
characters
changed
or
how
the
characters
changed.
A
B
Well,
the
the
prior
budget
director
he
retired,
yeah
and
and
then
the
the
other
person
in
my
role.
He
got
another
job
as
a
town
manager
for
for
a
town
in
pennsylvania,
so
yeah
we're
just
filling
their
spots.
A
A
A
So
when
I
retire
in
2052,
we'll
have
another
interview
with
all
four
of
us
and
we'll
have
that
and
I'll
play
this
clip
back.
Okay,.
C
B
A
A
Maybe
maybe
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
can
think
of
that
sooner
and
we'll
we'll
let
you
know
you
haven't
been
in
the
the
three
of
you
have
not
been
in
the
jobs
long.
But
what
have
you
noticed
in
your
other
jobs
before
you
got
here?
What
have
you
noticed?
The
differences
in
budgeting
or
the
differences
in
ways
that
people
request
money
since
the
beginning
of
covid?
What
has
ch
what?
What
was
it
like
before
and
what
is
it
like
now,
as
this
pandemic
continues?
Moving
on
indefinitely.
D
You
know
technological
and
electronically,
based
instead,
so
we're
finally
sort
of
kind
of
moving
away
from
the
paper
which
is
kind
of
cool,
because
when
we
need
to
go
back
and
reference
things,
it
makes
it
a
lot
easier
to
retrieve
those
items
that
we're
looking
for
electronically
rather
than
having
to
go
through.
B
The
pandemic,
a
lot
of
cities
and
towns
and
states
they've
had
many
challenges
as
far
as
revenues
go,
and
so
the
american
rescue
plan
funding
we're
very
fortunate
to
receive
that,
and
so
in
some
ways
we're
able
to
address
things
that
we
weren't
able
to
address
in
the
past
and
not
necessarily
speaking
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Right
now,
but
I
know
in
the
town
that
I
would
that
I
worked
at
previously.
B
That
gave
us
some
money
that
we
wouldn't
have
had
to
address
some
water
and
sewer
issues
that
were
very
expensive
and
so
so
yeah,
and
just
because
of
the
way
that
arpa
funds
are
set
up.
It
was
pretty
easy
and
flexible
to
do
that.
A
That's
great
in
a
perfect
world
budgeting
utophia
council
budgeting
utopia.
What
are
some
things
that
your
office
could
use
that
you
don't
have
right
now.
B
A
wall
mounted
screen
so
that,
like
so
pete
and
I
we
can
actually
go
over
files
together
and
not
do
it
for
individually
from
our
laptop,
so
that'd.
A
B
A
I
we
should
get
you,
we
should
get
you
these
90
inch
touch
screens
because
re
I've
been
in
that
office.
So
I
know
when
you
just
turned
and
put
your
arms
up
like
this.
I
know
exactly
where
you
are
and
what
but
a
90
inch
touchscreen
that
you
and
pete
in
paris
can
just
walk
in
and
just
move
stuff
around
and
put
it
anywhere.
You
want
yeah,
we'll
work
on
that.
We'll
get
that
for
you
tomorrow.
A
C
Know
exactly
what
I'm
asking
for,
but
some
way
that
like
allows
the
budget
process
to
be
more
transparent,
so
that
you
know
the
the
office
of
management,
budget
office
of
management
and
budget
already
does
a
tremendous
job,
especially
on
the
capital
side,
which
is
where
I
had
most
of
my
experience,
working
like
reaching
out
to
the
public
and
having
capital
budget
forums
and
they
created
pages
on,
engage
pgh.
That
people
could
go
and
put
their
input
because
you
know
we're
making
this
budget
for
the
people.
C
So
we
want
to
hear
from
the
people
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
to
make
sure
that
we're
investing
in
the
things
that
they
want
to
invest
in
and
to
make
sure
that
they
know
what's
going
on
in
the
budget
process
and
they're
in
tune
with
all
those
budget
hearings.
So
I
don't
know
exactly
what
that
would
be,
but
just
something
that
would
help
amplify
the
what's
going
on
at
city
hall.
C
C
D
C
A
That's
great
all
right!
So
now
we're
going
to
come
to
the
the
weirdest
part
of
the
show.
I
didn't
prep
you
for
this
at
all,
but
I'm
gonna
ask
each
of
you
two
questions.
We're
gonna
do
this
in
round
robin
I'm
just
gonna.
Ask
you
each
two
questions
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
your
jobs.
Okay,
you
ready.
D
A
Yeah,
okay,
so
paris,
I'm
gonna
start
with
you.
If
you
were
forced
to
delete
all
the
apps
on
your
phone
except
three.
What
are
the
three
that
you're
keeping.
D
A
My
second
question
to
you
is:
what
is
your
go-to
karaoke
song.
A
A
D
A
So
when
I
never
get
invited
to
to
the
council
christmas
party,
I'm
gonna
make
sure
that
somebody
puts
on
some
luther
vandross
for
you
and
you
can
get
up
in
front
of
everybody
and
do
that.
That's
that's
a
great
one,
ria.
What
is
the?
How
long
would
you
last
in
a
zombie
apocalypse.
B
Oh
not
very
long,
I
I
don't
know,
I
don't
feel
well
with
that
kind
of
stress.
I
would
probably
just
give
myself
a
zombie
within
the
first
couple
hours.
B
B
I
know
and
like
since
I
do
travel
a
lot
and
whenever
people
find
out,
I'm
from
pittsburgh
for
manny
brothers
comes
up
a
lot
and
I
always
have
to
tell
people
I'm
like.
Oh
yeah,
you
know
what
I
I
don't
like.
A
Moving
over
to
pete
what
is
the
name
of
your
pirate
ship
of
my
pirate
ship
yeah,
you
own
a
pirate
ship.
Obviously,
so,
what's
the
name
of
your
pirate
ship.
C
C
A
Pete
tell
us
about
what
was
your.
Do
you
remember
and
tell
us
about
your
first
ever
cell
phone.
C
Yeah,
that's
a
good
question.
I
got
it
when
I
was,
would
have
been
a
freshman
in
college,
so.
C
2006,
no,
it
was
I'm
still
on
the
same
family
plan
that
I've
been
on
since
then
I
pay
for
it.
I've
paid
for
it.
Since
I
got
it,
you
know
we.
I
just
had
to
venmo
my
sister,
a
hundred
bucks
every
month,
okay,
but
I
do.
C
I
do
remember
it
was
a
fun
party
trick
down
at
the
harvard
on
the
mon.
I
could
stand
it
up.
It
was
an
old
flip
phone,
of
course,
but
I
could
stand
it
up
on
its
end
and
whenever
I
would
get
a
text
message,
it
would
like
spin
in
a
circle,
and
that
was
like
a
fun
little
dance-
that
we
would
do.
We
were
very
easily
entertained
down
there,
but
that's
what
I
remember
the
most
from
it.
A
If
somebody
watching
this
wants
to
find
out
more
about
council
budgeting
procedures
or
has
a
question
about
the
council
budget
or
budgeting
process
or
anything,
how
can
they
ask
those
questions
and
get
them
answered?.
C
The
city's
website
has
a
good
bit
of
information.
You
know
we
have
to
walk
work
hand
in
glove
with
the
office
of
management
and
budget
for
a
lot
of
things
too,
so
they
would
be
a
tremendous
resource.
Always
reaching
out
to
your
members
of
council
is
a
good
idea,
because
you
know
that's
the
council.
Members
are
the
ones
with
their
ears
to
the
ground
and
know
what's
going
on
in
their
communities,
you
can
always
reach
out
to
us
by
email
or
or
calling
our
office
and
we're
always
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
B
Me
personally,
no,
I
think
that
about
covers
it.
I'm
just
excited
to
be
back
here
in
pittsburgh.
I'm
excited
to
get
right
back
into
the
budget
in
virginia.
Our
fiscal
year
was
a
july
1st
through
june
30th,
so
I
just
passed
a
budget
there,
so
I
mean
right
right
back
into
it
right
away.
A
All
right,
well
I'd
like
to
thank
the
three
of
you
for
taking
the
time
to
do
this.
I
know
it's
getting
into
a
new
job
is
difficult
enough.
Then
you
get
have
to
be
grilled
by
me,
but
I
appreciate
you
immediately
replying
and
saying
you
totally
would
do
this.
A
I
wish
you
well
in
these
new
roles,
especially
as
they
we
immediately
throw
you
into
the
fire
and
if
you
need
the
city
channel
or
any
other
government
tv
channel
to
help
you
in
the
budgeting
communication
stuff,
we
should
talk
about
that.
Absolutely
all
right
to
those
of
you
who
are
watching.
We
thank
you
for
watching
