Peduto Press release from a few days ago:
PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh City Councilman William Peduto will introduce a resolution at this morning’s City Council meeting calling on Pittsburgh to join the international effort to combat global warmingI am constantly amazed by Bill Peduto and his leadership on issues that are so vitally important but city officials knowingly or unknowingly ignore. Its things like taking care of the environment and improving public transit, things that Peduto advocates for, that will help bring about a new Pittsburgh renaissance.
I, unfortunately, didn't have the pleasure to experience Peduto's first mayoral campaign and only the very tail end of his second, short lived, mayoral campaign. Have the progressives and the bloggers left Bill in the dust? Where were the cries for "Draft Bill" this time? Why so fast to jump from an elected official who has always stood up for what alot of the blogging progressives are all about and switch over to what appears to be a "not-always-too-progressive" candidate in Dowd? What has Dowd done in his just over one year on council to steal the progressive crown from Peduto? Is Dowd really the one we bloggers want as our front man, or is he severely lacking in credentials for this title?
If my commenters could enlighten me, I would gladly hear it.
To Bill Peduto: I still like you, don't let Dowd steal your progressive thunder
and a side note: Why doesn't Dowd have one of these yet?
