Reply to PublicSource: Where's the money in the Allegheny County exec race? by drmartykrauss

We all realize we need a good, strong county executive, not only someone who is labor friendly but someone who is business friendly,” said Kenneth Broadbent, business manager of the Steamfitters Local 449. “On this election, we’re all supporting John Weinstein.”

Broadbent keyed on the controversial subject of fracking, calling it a “clean, safe form of energy, and energy is the key to the middle class way of life.” Weinstein said he would be open to new fracking projects in the county if elected, though he said he favored a 2022 council measure to ban fracking in county parks.

Phil Ameris, president of the Laborers District Council of Western Pennsylvania, added that Weinstein will “be a fair voice for both labor and development,” and in a dig at more progressive candidates, said he will represent more than “a select few neighborhoods.” I don’t think people in the South Hills are interested in affordable housing,” Ameris said.

Thanks construction unions. I hate it.

Wanna go hit up the public range some Saturday? I have various hunting rifles, plus we can shoot my custom built flintlock musket or my original 1812 musket. The only things we have to talk about are gun safety and shooting skills.

Well your point is null- as he didn’t walk up to a group of people.

He asked a question to the general Pittsburgh subreddit explaining what they’re trying to avoid.

Your point might be applicable say, if he actually walked up to a group of people at the gun range and said that. But alas- were on the internet. And he didn’t walk up to anyone.
