Marty Griffin drools over administration and spits on council

He asks callers to name one thing that city council has done. Matt H called and said that Dan D helped to re-open the Zone 4 police station. That got half a point, as the measure was also championed by the mayor's office.

The phones were not ringing, so I pondered what to say and finally gave Marty a call. But, the time had expired. Marty was whistling the scarecrow song from Wizard of Oz, "If I only had a brain."

What has city council done?

Humm... I have my own theme song. "Think Again." (My wife asks if they 'think at all?')

Accomplishments:

Only one is presently in jail (Twanda C.)

Council invited OVERLORDS into Pittsburgh. We now have two sets of overlords and neither are getting kicked out of town.

There was the "Bubble Bill." (I hated it.) But, the bubble bill did withstand a recent court challenge.

I favor campaign finance reform measures -- but Peduto has kept that on back burner. And his wishes are not exactly what I desire.

Nonetheless, we need a balance of power in gov. So, council does NEED to get on its feet for city to have any hope of a revival.

Earlier in the hour, Jim Motznik was a guest on the program to talk about the billboards. We can't outlaw or put a moratorium on billboards.
