Allegheny County councilman to challenge Diven for state House seat

Mr. Nerone, you need to resign NOW. You need to be off of the county council before the end of the next council meeting. Tell Fitzgerald to get you a plaque or a batch of flowers and leave. If you finish the next meeting, and you are still on the council, I'll be there to protest. And, the P-G is on my side. And, the people of Allegheny County is on this side too -- as we voted as such twice. You'll be kicking off an uphill campaign otherwise.
Allegheny County councilman to challenge Diven for state House seat Under a provision in the county's home rule charter, he will have to step down from his council seat to run for another office. He is consulting legal experts about when he must formally resign.

That's a tremendous point. The guy JUST GOT IN and he wants to move on. BTW, what happens to his seat once he vacates? Another special election, even if he loses as early as the primary? TL

No special election when he leaves. County council Dems will come up with a DEMOCRAT to fill the remainder of his term.
