With a myriad of issues facing Allegheny County, candidates for elective office have a lot of difficult decisions to make. This is especially true for the next County Chief Executive, which is an open seat in the upcoming election.
What should be done about assessments? Can taxpayers and bus riders be confident about the condition of the Port Authority? Can the County’s Home Rule Charter be improved? Will Pittsburgh International Airport increase its lagging business?
These questions and others are addressed in our most recent report “A Candidates’ Guide to Crucial Issues Facing Allegheny County”. This report draws upon our extensive work on County issues, presents a brief background on six of the most pressing, along with market based, common sense action steps for dealing with these critical policy areas.
