Seeking a Safe, Welcoming and Thriving Region - Pittsburgh Quarterly It was a snowy day in Pittsburgh in 2024 when a City truck slid into a guardrail. No one was hurt, but it caused risk and damaged the vehicle. Asking “why” yielded a typical answer, “duh, it was icy.”...

I had a chance to talk to Lisa Frank, Pittsburgh's Chief Operating & Administrative Officer. I knew that under Mayor Ed Gainey, the Dept of Public Works had reduced injury rates 59%, which is wonderful in itself, but also saved millions of $.

Got to hear some stories! (I'm a process wonk.)

Voter Justice Project Power-Building & Leadership Cohort Program

CLIMATE RESILIENCE: When Mayor Gainey took office, he pledged to make Pittsburgh a city that prioritizes environmental health and provides clean air and water to its residents. In 2021 prior to Mayor Gainey’s election, all energy for City facilities came from fossil fuels. Four years into the Mayor’s administration, he has cut that percentage nearly in half. As Mayor, Ed has: - Shifted 45% of total electricity for city facilities to wind, decreasing dependency on fossil fuels. - Invested in electrifying the city’s fleet. - Committed to the Climate Action Plan Goal of 100% renewable energy by 2030. - Secured over $2 million for public electric vehicle charging within the city of Pittsburgh and ensured an equitable distribution across the city. - Led the campaign for Pittsburgh to be selected as one of 25 cities for the Bloomberg American Sustainable Cities program, designed to drive progress on clean energy job creation, climate resiliency, and clean air and water for working class communities and communities of color.

In the next four years, Ed will: - Supercharge Pittsburgh’s position in clean energy innovation, creating thousands of good-paying union jobs and driving further investment in Pittsburgh’s tech hub. - Reduce taxpayer burden by purchasing more clean, American-made energy to meet the Climate Action Plan goal of 100% renewable energy by 2030. - Secure a solar farm developer and a contract to purchase the power it generates. - Commission a study, restoration plan, and maintenance program for retaining walls and slopes, protecting homes, small businesses, and communities against damage from flooding and other extreme weather events. - Create a hazard mitigation plan that guides investments to help Pittsburgh prepare for continuing extreme weather events caused by climate change.

Pittsburgh got slammed by a vicious storm last night, reminding us the dynamic climate change has teeth. Seems relevant to review what Mayor Gainey accomplished in his 1st term, and plans for his 2nd!

On the left, a mailer that claims the mayor isn't getting blight demolitions done. It has a photo of two houses, and one of them is a wreck. On the right is a more recent photo of the same place. The blighted house is gone, and was demolished in 2023.

In Pittsburgh, the Democratic primary is the "real" election. If you vote by mail, your ballot is coming soon! The primary is 5/20.

We're flooded with unpleasant mailers, mainly by PACs supporting Corey O'Connor. They're using racist tropes & telling weirdly easily disproved lies.

I was at this protest last week, and I was so glad to see my mayor show up for health care rights!

“as mayor, I'm going to use every tool at my disposal to pressure them and to assure the folks that at the end of the day, we want them to do what's right.”

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Mrs. Betty Bowers (@mrsbettybowers .bsky.social). The post reads: "I learned this week that you can put our troops’ lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn’t like, you will be abducted on the street and disappear."

This is horrifyingly correct.

Pittsburgh real estate developers boost O'Connor's campaign Mayor Ed Gainey, who has championed policies that would require that some new housing be affordable, says relying on the market is a "failed model."

CITY FOR SALE:

25% of Corey O’Connor’s campaign funds have now been confirmed to come from developers.
This comes after a flood of donations from MAGA donors.

I’m not okay with my landlord buying the next mayor of Pittsburgh, are you?

Pittsburgh real estate developers boost O'Connor's campaign Mayor Ed Gainey, who has championed policies that would require that some new housing be affordable, says relying on the market is a "failed model."

New: We found that 80% of campaign donations from real estate developers and construction are going to Corey O'Connor and his bid to unseat Ed Gainey as Pittsburgh mayor.

Why?

One big developer says with Gainey, "Nobody answers [our] phone calls." www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...

"At the end of the day, it's not about how you hurt people, it's about how you empower them."

Pittsburgh, PA Mayor @gaineyformayor.com joined @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social on the show this morning to discuss his campaign for reelection & more.
