Last night I suggested to the Mayor and Council that we create a Think Tank, made up of the Mayor, some Council members, developers, real estate experts and existing McKeesport residents and landlords to come up with a REAL strategy for demolition and property rehab in the city.
I don’t believe that ANY one person has all the answers.
There is an excellent discussion going on on Jason Togyer’s Tube City almanac on the subject.

Do you think I (for once) have a good idea?
Would you like to take part in such an endeavor?
What are your (serious) ideas to eliminate blight and get rehabable properties back on the tax rolls?
Don’t be a silent majority on this one…
Paul
Not on Topix either…. (Yay!!!!!)
Seriously, Jason Togyer has opened up a much needed can of worms discussion with his last two posts on the Tube City Almanac:
http://www.tubecityonline.com/almanac/
It centers on the huge problem of blight in Mckeesport and the comments made by readers there concern possible solutions. Check it out and join the discussion!
We need our best and brightest involved in this discussion and vital effort to fix the problem.
COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT AT 7:00 PM. OLD CITY HALL.
I’ll be there. Hope to see you too!

p.s. If Jason keeps this level of journalism up, I guess I’ll have to resign myself to being Mckeesport’s 2nd best blogger….
Just a little while ago, this humble site went over 2000 hits for the first time in our brief history. THank you all, friend and foe alike. At least if you are reading here, you have a chance at learning truth for maybe the first time and I have a chance to make a positive influence in your thinking and your life.
I’m not beating my chest because there are better bloggers than me around. Jason Togyer probably gets more that 20,000 hits a month, as he should.
But to come from nothing to two thousand hits in a few short months means a lot to me.
Six straight months of growth is a positive trend.
Lord knows we need more of those in Mckeesport….
We have a council work session tonight at 7:00. You are all welcome to attend. Both our work session and the “public” meeting are public meetings. Stop down old City Hall on Lysle Blvd this evening and find out for yourself what is going on in town.
Truth and facts will never hurt you.

Today in front of Judge Susan Evashavik-Dilucente, ( http://www.judgesusan.com/ ) the citing officer for the summary offense did not show. The Judge was none too happy with the waste of the court’s time or the officer’s absence. She said the charges were “Petty.”
Bill said that he never wanted to press charges at all, that the officer had convinced him to do so. That was his testimony. I wonder what that was all about? I’d always been friends with the officer before. Maybe he just had a bad day?
Bill and I Â have to play nice, stay apart from each other for 90 days, and all charges will be dismissed.
I really wish the guy no harm. He did what he did. I’m over it. As long as he ceases and desists from harassing and defaming me, I am past it. I’m not one to hold grudges. In this case, no harm, no foul.
I wish him and Lupie and their beautiful daughter the best and I am publicly requesting that none of my friends or supporters bother Bill or Lupie. As a matter of fact, the judge ordered it. I get in trouble if any of my friends or family approach Bill in a realiatory manner.
DON’T!Â
If I can get past it, so can you. It is a Christian tenet to forgive.Â
I still believe that Lupie is a very intelligent person and a good proprietor. I’d like to see their crowds a little (OK, a lot) quieter when they leave. The actions of their clientel is not their fault. We just have to be tougher enforcing decency and orderly conduct. If a few of the 2:00 AM stereo blasters or screamers are arrested for disturbing the peace, I believe that the bar (which is really a night club in a residential area) would be much less of a nuisance.
I’ll speak to the Chief over the next few days about the behavior of the officer involved. You won’t get his name out of me. It’s a personnel issue….
1 down.
Yard is clean(er) so the  2nd case should be down according to Ron Brooks who I spoke with today.
One lying dry cleaner to go……
Can’t wait to have my day(s) in court on that one!
;)

Got to run to get ready for the yard sale. A new poll was created on Topix this morning by someone else that raises a good question. Your votes and your comments (here or there) would be appreciated.

Stop by the old crib on Versailles Avenue. We have some cool stuff and some real bargains. Not to mention we offer great company
Paul
It was good to see so many of you stop by and purchase today. What was even better was all of the folks who stopped by to tell me they know I’m innocent, provide me with more facts on my accuser, and declare their support for my Mayoral run!
I am truly blessed.
Today was a pretty good first day. Enjoyed it so much, we will do it tomorrow from Noon till dark.
Stop by! You will be appreciated.
Paul
Yard sale today 10:00 till ????? Fun and bargains for kids of all ages.
3328 Versailles Ave, Mckeesport, PA 15132. Free “got sluggo?” button with purchases over $10 (while they last!)
-Paul
We are having a little yard sale today at the old crib, 3328 Versailles Avenue. Please stop by. I may need the proceeds for legal fees if the City’s Insurance carrier doesn’t cover me while providing constituent service
Some real good deals for kids of all ages!
-Paul
Paul is out of town today on business but asked me to post this entry. We just may pass 2000 hits for the first time ever! Nothing like a good scandal to get people’s attention we guess:
Â
We all thank you for your support!
-webmaster
Â
We have updated the Social networking and Online Poll links on the right. Enjoy!

Two School Directors held true to a Pre-Election Day promise and cut MASD Millage once more! Kudos also to directors Brown, Chiaveriini and Halazynski who supported the plan with their votes:
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09176/979854-100.stm
For those of you who are unaware of it, our fine school district has the LOWEST millage in ALL of Allegheny County, thanks primarily to the long time volunteer efforts of Directors Lori Spando and David G. Donato, the taxpayer’s friends. We need more elected officials with their character!
Have a great day in McKeesport! It just got cheaper for homeowners to live here.

There is an online poll at Topix, which I am staying off of, that asks if the comments the Mayor made while I was unjustly incarcerated, and unable to defend myself were appropriate, inappropriate or politically motivated.
Â
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/mckeesport-pa/T9SA37VRDE5FIE1DF

Here are the facts i have already stated in the Press and on this blog:
1) I have never owned or possessed a gun.
2) No gun was found by police.
3) No witnesses have come forward to support my accuser’s claims and certainly none came forward the day I was arrested.
4) I have no record of ANY physical violence or threats.
5) We can’t say the same for my accuser.
6) In America, we are innocent until proven guilty.
7) I have a clean bill of health from my doctors. All of my doctors.
8) I have announced that i am running for mayor in 2011.
9) I have agreed to take a polygraph…Â no I have VOLUNTEERED to take a polygraph to clear my name further.
Knowing these facts, do you believe the Mayor was correct or not, urging me to resign the position YOU elected me to, or in saying that I should get the help I need and get my life in order.
Realize of course, that he was commenting on a person that is part of an ongoing investigation. What Mayor should ever comment on such a case and why would this one, other than to discreduit a political opponent?
Please vote, comment on Topix and comment below this post.
In my mind, which is crystal clear and calm, I think he committed at least an error in judgement, rendering his comments inappropriate. i can’t comment on his motivation. I can’t pretend to understand what goes on in that man’s mind.
There are so many things that I would do different (and better), i wouldn’t know where to begin.
Please vote. It appears some folks are stuffing the ballot box in his favor, from their places of business even. I hope that further taxpayer dollars are not being wasted on my character assasination.
I’ll post a link to the poll on the right and get rid of a few dated polls later as time permits.
Peace.
Paul
