I'm glad the patient got to the hospital safely, but this incident again shows how our aging fleet is putting residents and first responders at risk, and making it harder and harder for city workers to deliver services we all rely on. wpxi.com/news/local/11-…

A week after budget hearings started in City Council, we're no closer to any progress addressing the serious fiscal problem we face in 2026. For 18 months, we've been warning the Mayor, Council and the public that this was coming – and here we are.

Today I wrote to Greco Steel urging them to address workers' safety concerns in the aftermath of a tragic workplace death in 2023. All workers in Pittsburgh deserve to be safe on the job. Greco needs to come to the table now and bargain in good faith.

I spoke with students at @PointParkU last night. They're doing a lot of great things downtown and seeing big increases in enrollment. Thanks for having me and for all you're doing to support downtown Pittsburgh's recovery!

Today is Darlene Cash's last day as a security guard at the City County Building. She's a fixture in everyone's day. We're going to miss her but wish her all the best in retirement. Thank you, Darlene – and thank you @MayorEdGainey for honoring Dar today!

Had the chance to tour the amazing new terminal at @PITairport today. This is the kind of investment that will lay the foundation for real economic growth in our city and our region. Huge thanks to all the leaders in Allegheny County and all the union workers who made it possible
