Mayoral Opponent Upset Over Youth Program Shirts Sporting 'Ravenstahl' Name - News Story - WTAE Pittsburgh About 232 children taking part in Pittsburgh's summer youth employment program are wearing city-issued T-shirts with Mayor Luke Ravenstahl's name appearing on them.

The shirts have Republican mayoral candidate Mark DeSantis upset.

"It's not the mayor's program," DeSantis said. "It's the city of Pittsburgh's program. It's not the mayor's money. It's taxpayers' dollars. It's not the mayor's government. It's city government. There's really no reason to promote his name with a city program.

How is this different than Jeff Koch's supporters wearing T-shirts?

Are there criminal charges that could be filed here?

Deplorable.

I'm so glad I don't live in Pittsburgh.

I'm so glad I don't live in Allegheny County any longer.

I'm just plain glad.
