Tax plan for city in a haze as Nov. 30 deadline looms

Pittsburgh is dead in the water as long as Mayor Tom Murphy is at the helm. Not only are people not willing to help, but people are not willing to meet, nor are people not clear as to what to do. With Murphy on the scene, Pittsburgh's lack of trust, phony budgets, and numbness just creeps into more facets of life.

Murphy is going to need to quit for the good of the city.

House Democratic Leader H. William DeWeese of Waynesburg is going to need to ask Murphy to resign.

State Senator Shean Logan, D, is going to need to ask Murphy to resign.

Tax plan for city in a haze as Nov. 30 deadline looms: "'At this point I'd say it's only 50-50 at best'' that the Legislature will aid Pittsburgh before the session ends, said Sen. Sean Logan, D-Monroeville."
