    In case you need a few more examples of Tonya Payne on “The Record”... Councilwoman tables plans to exempt colleges from rental unit registration Thursday, February 12, 2009 By Rich Lord, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Councilwoman Tonya Payne, who proposed the exemption two weeks ago, said the city must consider "the consequences that might happen if an exemption is granted here or anywhere else." And by month's end, at least two property owners' groups expect to decide whether to file suit to halt parts of Mayor Luke Ravenstahl's effort to register rental properties and, where necessary, fine landlords for tenant behavior. Williams family helping redevelop Uptown In past at odds with leaders over vast real estate holdings Sunday, February 01, 2009 By Mark Belko, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette City Councilwoman Tonya Payne, who now represents Uptown and who received campaign contributions from the owners of Williams Real Estate in 2005, spoke highly of Sal Williams. "He's definitely good for Uptown and he's always been," she said Hill District pastor who fought hockey arena retiring Sunday, January 25, 2009 By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette That pitted him against Councilwoman Tonya Payne, who in 2005 had defeated his friend, Mr. Udin. She saw the casino as a good deal. But, after the casino plan failed, she believes Dr. Monroe's group made unrealistic demands on the group that emerged to build an arena. His group wanted $10 million to revitalize the Hill. Ms. Payne's group had a lead role in negotiations that yielded $3 million. "I'm still convinced that the community did not get a good deal," Dr.

  • 2019 State of Downtown Pittsburgh
    20 STATE OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH19 TABLE OF CONTENTS For the past eight years, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership has been pleased to produce the State of Downtown Pittsburgh Report. This annual compilation and data analysis allows us to benchmark our progress, both year over year and in comparison to peer cities. In this year’s report, several significant trends came to light helping us identify unmet needs and better understand opportunities for developing programs and initiatives in direct response to those challenges. Although improvements to the built environment are evident in nearly every corridor of the Golden Triangle, significant resources are also being channeled into office property interiors to meet the demands of 21st century companies and attract a talented workforce to Pittsburgh’s urban core. More than $300M has been invested in Downtown’s commercial office stock over the 4 ACCOLADES AND BY THE NUMBERS last five years – a successful strategy drawing new tenants to Downtown and ensuring that our iconic buildings will continue to accommodate expanding businesses and emerging start-ups. OFFICE, EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION Downtown experienced a 31% growth in residential population over the last ten years, a trend that will continue with the opening 6 of hundreds of new units over the next couple of years. Businesses, from small boutiques to Fortune 500 companies, continued to invest in the Golden Triangle in 2018 while Downtown welcomed a record number of visitors and new residents. HOUSING AND POPULATION 12 Development in Downtown is evolving and all of these investments combine to drive the economic vitality of the city, making Downtown’s thriving renaissance even more robust.

  • Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and the Elusive Quest for a New Deal Majority in the Keystone State
    A Tale of Two Cities: Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and the Elusive Quest for a New Deal Majority in the Keystone State The Needs of the Many . N RETROSPECT, the formation of a Democratic electoral majority in the 1930s—one that ruled American politics for two generations— Iseems almost to have been inevitable. The Great Depression, and then a world war, enabled Franklin D. Roosevelt to lay the foundations of the modern welfare state, drive much of the public policy debate, and unite Americans in war—and to some extent in peace. But a careful study of the national scene, as well as sensitivity to the nuances of community and state politics in Pennsylvania, paints a different picture. The New Deal coalition was comprised of various interests with little in common beyond shared poverty and a profound admiration for President Roosevelt. Segregationist white southerners, northern blacks, Jews, Catholics, and unskilled workers who enlisted in the affiliates of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) maintained a tenuous alliance brokered by Roosevelt. On more than a few occasions, the New Deal coalition faltered, leading to both local and national Republican vic- tories. Due to effective organization, cultural preferences, and political habit, among other factors, Republicans remained viable, and even strong, in states such as Pennsylvania. Essential to Democratic victory were the children of southern and eastern European Roman Catholic and Jewish immigrants who clustered in the urban industrial centers of the North. With the advent of federal immigration-restriction legislation in 1921 (and again in 1924), ethnic urban wards largely ceased to be centers of transient male workers who had little desire to follow the moral exhortations of clergy, join labor THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Vol.

  • Affordable Housing Task Force Recommendations
    Affordable Housing Task Force Findings and Recommendations to Mayor William Peduto and the Pittsburgh City Council May 2016 AHTF - Findings And Recommendations 1 The Affordable Housing Task Force began with an assumption that there was a compelling need to ad- dress the changing landscape of housing affordability in Pittsburgh. Through research, discussion, and community and stakeholder engagement, the Task Force has arrived at recommendations that respond to both the assumption and the realities of affordable housing in the city. The Task Force members, drawn from across the city, with a wide range of expertise and experience, worked through these issues in committees and working groups. They drew on the knowledge of ad- vocates, developers, and national experts, including the Needs Assessment study by Mullin & Lonergan and the Feasibility study by Peninger Consulting, and most importantly the communities of Pittsburgh. The Task Force participated directly in the community forums, organized with The Art of Democracy, held throughout the city. In those community forums, we heard strong concerns for today, and for the future. On the one hand, there are neighborhoods that are still experiencing disinvestment and decline, eager for new investment. On the other, there were concerns that the rapid increase in rent and home values were putting people, from families starting out to seniors, at risk of having to leave their neighborhoods. In response, the Task Force focused on major opportunities, both drawing on existing programs and proposing new approaches: a Pittsburgh Housing Trust Fund; better utilization of Low Income Housing Tax Credits; and Preservation of Existing Affordable Housing and Protecting Residents.

I am delighted that you will be joining us for this event as we explore the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in southwestern Pennsylvania. In the course of the past year, a number of key policy issues have emerged at the state and local levels. We have not yet passed legislation to address pensions and transportation funding, two key issues that will be of critical importance during the legislative session this fall. Also among these is the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which emerged as the most critical issue for Policy Makers and the Institute of Politics to address. This is primarily because the Act is so complex: it includes the components that one hears about in the media: employer and individual mandates, exemptions to various components of the law, the potential expansion of Medicaid, subsidies for certain categories of individuals, families and businesses, and tax changes, among other things.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, Annual (1980) Latrobe LATROBE, PA.: CRADLE OF PRO FOOTBALL By Robert B. Van Atta John Kinport Brallier, who was to become nationally acknowledged as one of the first professional football players, was born at Cherry Tree, Pa., north of Indiana, Pa., Dec. 27, 1876, the son of Dr. Emanuel Brallier, a physician, and his wife, Lucy M. Kinport Brallier. His grandparents were from Alsace-Lorraine in Europe, accounting for the French-sounding name. As a boy, Brallier remembered having worked in a glass factory. His first recollection of football was in 1890, at the age of 13, when he played for the West Indiana Public School team. By 1892, he was captain and right halfback on the high school team as a sophomore, just before his 16th birthday. The year of 1893 saw the youthful athlete, while still attending the public high school, also “matriculating at Indiana Normal so I could play on the team.” The team won three of four games played that year, and among Brallier’s teammates was left guard Alex Stewart, future father of movie star Jimmy Stewart. Brallier quarterbacked the Normal team in both 1893 and 1894. His second year on the team found it winning only two of five games, but against much tougher opposition provided by college teams and teams of former college players. The fourth game that year was a 28-0 loss to Washington and Jefferson, but Brallier’s outstanding play was to have a major effect on his future. E. Gard Edwards, coach of the Wash-Jeff team, wrote from Pittsburgh to John Brallier, Dec.
