Pittsburgh councilwoman pushes revised capital spending plan

Have you ever put on a seldom worn sports coat or pair of slacks and found a $20 bill in your pocket that you didn't know was there?

That is a nice feeling.

What Pittsburgh city council does is not the same. Different feeling for the taxpayers. Different outcome for our governement. Different flavor of folly for the day.

Pittsburgh councilwoman pushes revised capital spending plan: "In a classic example, council recently decided to pull $250,000 from capital accounts dating back to the 1990s to fund a study of the city's parking assets.
Ms. Rudiak said her bill would establish a 'reconciliation committee' to periodically review capital accounts and redirect unspent funds to the general fund or other capital projects."
