Pittsburgh Democratic Committee Chair Kevin Quigley posing with mayoral candidate Tony Moreno
On Feb. 23, “The great President Donald J Trump also has a responsibility to protect this country,” tweeted Moreno in July 2019. “They want to make it socialist and hate America. They try to impeach him, falsely accuse him and turn against American values. That’s what I would have said. He speaks for me.” Moreno told
City Paper that those past tweets don’t represent his current support or policies he endorses, but the revelation has made a splash in the Pittsburgh political world. Allegheny County Democratic Committee members are currently voting on which candidates will receive the party’s endorsements, and the endorsement for Pittsburgh Mayor is between Moreno and state Rep. Ed Gainey. Both are running against incumbent Mayor Bill Peduto, who is not seeking the ACDC endorsement.

Pittsburgh’s Chinatown was something I only heard about when talking to other young Asian Americans in the city. It was folkloric, despite being a part of Pittsburgh’s history and, by virtue of being Asian American in Pittsburgh, our history.

As Pennsylvania faces a potential multi-billion dollar budget hole, a Republican and Democratic state senator are introducing a bipartisan proposal to legalize and tax recreational cannabis. The sponsors, Sens. Dan Laughlin (R-Erie) and Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia) cited shifting public attitudes, as well as the potential gain from a new crop for farmers, a fresh start for those with a possession arrest on their record, and a boast to the state’s bottom line. “I pledged to never raise taxes when I ran for this seat, and I refuse to see a single tax raised on Pennsylvanians when an opportunity for new revenue to balance our state budget is right in front of us,” Laughlin said during a Feb. 24 news conference at the Capitol.
