After unifying behind one ticket for governor, the Pennsylvania Democratic Committee opted to sit out of the high-profile race for U.S. Senate, failing to reach its self-imposed threshold of a two-thirds majority vote but giving U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb a big show of support.

 

In a meeting Saturday in Harrisburg, a majority of committee members recommended endorsing Mr. Lamb, of Mt. Lebanon, to be their torchbearer ahead of the May primary, but his 169 votes fell short of the required tally to win the body’s backing.

 

On the committee’s second ballot, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman came in second place with 64 votes — less than half of his Western Pennsylvania competitor’s total — and State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta of Philadelphia rounded out the top three with 42.

PITTSBURGH — Work crews continued hauling in heavy equipment after the collapse of the Fern Hollow Bridge on Friday, that sent cars and a Port Authority bus into the ravine.

 

Pittsburgh City Councilman Corey O’Connor tells Target 11 that he will introduce legislation calling for inspection reports to be posted online for the public to see.

 

“At least let people know these conditions and put them on a city site as opposed to a state website,” O’Connor explained. He said being transparent with inspection report is city council’s goal.

 

The Fern Hollow Bridge was rated in poor condition, just like more than 40,000 bridges across the country, which means it’s showing signs of advanced deterioration and weight limits may be enforced.
