More political events this week

Voter Education

No charge entry, great music, Mt. Lebo Church, pan-partisan, 7 pm, Oct 21. See article elsewhere in this blog.

Debate

Candidate debate for US Congress hosted at CCAC - Boyce Campus, with East Suburban UU Church, Debate. Sadly, this event falls on the same date and time as our event at Sunnyhill. Otherwise, I would have done my best to attend. Their event is a real debate, and it seems to be the only one that features the two candidates.

Rally

-- John Kerry and some special musical guest will be at CMU on Wednesday. You have to have tickets but they were being passed out at the PIIN meeting.

IMNSHO (In my not so humble opinion), the special musical guest, Bon Jovi, won't be as good as the music you'll be able to take in on Thursday night with Amy Carol Webb.

-- General Wesley Clark, (did you know he is a swimmer, besides a frequent CNN guest), is coming to town on Thursday too. I think he's slated for the VFW post 5008, East Pittsburgh, 401 Drapper St, 412-829-1377. at 1:15 pm. Please try to be there by 12:30 pm so we can get settled.

TV 4 Town Hall Meeting

Tax plan for city in a haze as Nov. 30 deadline looms

Pittsburgh is dead in the water as long as Mayor Tom Murphy is at the helm. Not only are people not willing to help, but people are not willing to meet, nor are people not clear as to what to do. With Murphy on the scene, Pittsburgh's lack of trust, phony budgets, and numbness just creeps into more facets of life.

Murphy is going to need to quit for the good of the city.

House Democratic Leader H. William DeWeese of Waynesburg is going to need to ask Murphy to resign.

State Senator Shean Logan, D, is going to need to ask Murphy to resign.

Tax plan for city in a haze as Nov. 30 deadline looms: "'At this point I'd say it's only 50-50 at best'' that the Legislature will aid Pittsburgh before the session ends, said Sen. Sean Logan, D-Monroeville."
