Allegheny County Council member Eileen Watt resigning

This is how a campion of the people operates. Three cheers for Ms. Watt. You should have been in the parade today.

Allegheny County Council member Eileen Watt resigning: Allegheny County Council member Eileen Watt announced this afternoon that she would step down at the end of council's meeting this evening.

Ms. Watt, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the seat in the state House now held by Frank Dermody, D-Oakmont, said she was resigning from council 'due to a restriction on candidates for other office who would also serve on County Council.'

The others -- you only have time against you. Do the right thing and GET OUT NOW.
