God damn @billpeduto never misses an opportunity to be a vindictive shit. Begging for qualified liberal challengers to make themselves known.
What the fuck @billpeduto @NEXTpittsburgh @PghPolice reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/c…
@TheNextPGH The microphone and flags with no mayor present is the perfect image to symbolize the response we're expecting from @billpeduto.
@colindean @billpeduto Forget looks. This was not a good act. I don't have any faith in Peduto's leadership anymore, which is a shame given how much I once had. Hoping for a strong primary from the left.
@JanePitt @billpeduto The why is pretty shit too.
@chellemahbelle @billpeduto Desperate for a qualified candidate running to the left of him. Deeply let down by his response to this and so many other issues.
RT @stew_frick: @billpeduto @B_Chantele @valeriegauvain Hey, thanks for liking the hat and all, but way more importantly, it would be good…
@fanelli @billpeduto The challenge will be to replace him with someone who has the courage to stand up to our police department. I was so excited when @billpeduto was finally elected, but I've completely lost faith in him.
Hey @billpeduto, I find myself thinking about that report that said that Pittsburgh is one of the worst cities to live as a black person almost daily. If you're the mayor I hope you are I bet you have been too. What is being done to change that, and how can I best support it?
@billpeduto If your priorities are SO SKEWED in favor of pushing gun regulations, or improving the circumstances of our marginalized communities, and NOT the shameful state of the Pirates management… keep doing you. You're on the right track.
@JanePitt Fuuuuuck that is depressing. Hopefully your audience can point toward actions we can take or organizations we can support to reverse this. I love Pittsburgh, but I don't want to live in a city that doesn't care for all of my neighbors equally. I assume @billpeduto has some ideas?
@billpeduto Trying to hang on to my optimism until then. I don't always agree with you, but seeing the hate you always get for even uncontroversial news I just want you to know that I appreciate the work you do for our city.
@billpeduto I didn't know anything about this. What can we do to fight back, beyond voting? We know the FCC isn't interested in fighting for our rights.
@billpeduto What is the best way to support this legislation locally and at the state level to ensure its long term viability?
The other day a representative from @MPowerEnergy_NY came to my door. He was polite and friendly, but was clearly working from a deeply misleading and invasive script. /cc @DuquesneLight @PeoplesGasCHI @GovernorTomWolf @billpeduto
@billpeduto When I moved five years ago I picked up some no parking signs that were ready for me in advance and paid a cashier at BoP HQ in 5 minutes. Today my fiancee spent an hour at Public Works only to be given the wrong signs. What is happening? @CityPGH @PghPolice
@JanePitt If we lose our low cost of living (and I think we are), I hope it's slow and organic, not raffled off to the highest bidder at the cost of our most vulnerable neighbors. I still support @billpeduto, but I've been deeply disappointed by the at-all-costs secrecy of the bid.
@billpeduto Will you or your staff be on hand for tonight's meeting regarding the Norfolk Southern tracks that run through the North Side?
@Dianezona I am a huge fan of city living, but I wanted to stop by and say that you do not deserve that bullshit response from @billpeduto, nor the heap of condescending messages that his response seems to have triggered. We're not all insufferable pricks in the city. Good luck!
@billpeduto I think this was a seriously gross response, and you will find no greater proponent of city living than me. You have no idea what circumstances surround her decision to live in N. Huntingdon, and the promise of affordable housing in the city is rapidly turning into fantasy.
@billpeduto Okay, but if I do, you have to promise to tell me what was in the Amazon bid. #transparency
@billpeduto The idea of you fighting to keep the Amazon bid private is the sort of Ravenstallian move that I never expected to see from you. I'm deeply disappointed.
.@billpeduto My lack of comma suggested that you witnessed it. I witnessed it. I'm asking you to help.
Hey @billpeduto just witnessed clear gender discrimination by a Port Authority driver against a young mother and her child. I'm appalled.
4 Pittsburgh Police Officers standing around outside of the Market Square Subway restaurant for nearly an hour. /cc @billpeduto
Port Authority bus nearly ran me over today. @billpeduto does the Port Authority have external oversight?
@billpeduto A legislature suing to overrule the electorate for selfish gain? THAT is the big government that we should all fear.
@billpeduto So how do we start?
@billpeduto The 4 year-old's birthday party which closed my street today should not have qualified for street closure. What to do?
How do I object to the closing of my street for a party? This is the third time this summer. /cc @billpeduto
@billpeduto The parking situation in the War Streets right now is a nightmare. North Ave and Monterey entirely under variance? Ridiculous.
@billpeduto Also, "optional" mail notifications on tickets is absurd. To disagree is to defy logic. The PPA needs your help with reasoning.
@billpeduto Ie. if I could tell PPA my email address and plate number, they could notify me via a medium not subject to wind or birds.
@billpeduto Without verifiable notification, increasing the price of a ticket that I may not know about seems underhanded. Tech can fix this
@billpeduto, the PPA's policy of "we put a ticket on your car and there is no way it could have possibly fallen off" is just stupid.
@billpeduto Thought for a moment that you were shouting out your favorite @Wendys location. /cc @Pgh311
@JustinKownacki I think @billpeduto is awesome. I think Rob Ford is a fucking joke.
Do I really have to spend the rest of the day pretending @billpeduto might not be the next mayor? Who's still confused about this?
@billpeduto Are you excited to be mayor in two days? Can we just skip the whole mayor-elect part and go straight to redecorating the office?
@billpeduto Was reading this article about traffic congestion and thought it might pique your interest. theatlanticcities.com/commute/2013/0…
@billpeduto Now that you're the likely mayor-to-be, you can't go around shaving your own face!
In 1850 Pittsburgh elected to mayor Joe Barker of the anti-Catholic party from his jail cell. We did better last night. Congrats @billpeduto
@billpeduto 17 more? Holy crap. You guys aren't messing around. Hope to be at some, and see video of others.
@billpeduto It is insane that I cannot find video of the debate. What the heck is going on?
@JackWagnerPGH Rather bet my vote on @billpeduto achieving even 1/10 of his detailed policy goals than a few inspecific paragraphs. Details!
@billpeduto Your opponent's platform seems to be a few paragraphs of rhetoric. Can't blame him, he's only been at it for a month or two.
@billpeduto Please be the mayor. After reading many of your policy papers, I have some idea of what you might actually do.
@billpeduto Must have clicked the wrong link. Thought I clicked on Issues link and only saw one very specific post. Better now. :-)
Having a hard time finding out why I should vote for either @billpeduto or @JackWagnerPGH, but I know all about Richardson's face tattoos.
@billpeduto Also curious about who you think is doing great work in Government in Pittsburgh and beyond. Who inspires you to be great?
@billpeduto I'm curious about your thoughts on @CoryBooker's great work in Newark, and if/how you'd bring that level of care to Pittsburgh.
@JustinKownacki Wow. You were right. The Baristas episode was like night and day with the first one. Way to go, @billpeduto.
@JustinKownacki Haha. @billpeduto Makes a better mayoral candidate than actor.
@billpeduto I think Detroit has been old for a while, but they've managed to hide it based on sheer willpower. Don't count them out yet.
@billpeduto Long live the rotary dial! Enjoy: http://bit.ly/a24qpR
@billpeduto You do have the coolest little chunk of the city, don't you?
@billpeduto Then tell Duquesne Light to get my power back on so that I can get busy driving out some darkness.
