    Methinks this guy may lose the November election.
    He's treating this job like it's just a chance to meet famous people and use city resources as though he deserves it.

    I think he should be kicked out of office for going to a Toby Keith concert. That shows bad judgment.

    And whiskey for his men at the bar afterward. AFter all, he's 27!

    The media here destroys him for his arrogance.

    The mayor of Pittsburgh is only 27? That's crazy.

    Well, he was head of City Council last year when the Mayor died.

    Oh. Still, that is pretty crazy he was even the head of the city council.

    Well, I don't follow city politics at 100% because of the fact that I live in a suburb, but I think he led City Council by default because of a power struggle between others and he filled the void.
