Now that City Councilor Bill Peduto has dropped out of the May 2007 primary, Pittsburgh faces an unprecedented situation. Luke Ravenstahl is poised to govern a city of 317,000 people through 2009 -- despite having received, to date, no more than 6,000 votes, cast in a city council race four years ago. We think Pittsburgh deserves an alternative, if only to raise vital issues. Also, as Peduto suggests on page 7, we media types are too chickenshit to criticize Ravenstahl ourselves; we need a candidate to do it for us.

  • Now that City Councilor Bill Peduto has dropped out of the May 2007 primary, Pittsburgh faces an unprecedented situation. Luke Ravenstahl is poised to govern a city of 317,000 people through 2009 -- despite having received, to date, no more than 6,000 votes, cast in a city council race four years ago. We think Pittsburgh deserves an alternative, if only to raise vital issues. Also, as Peduto suggests on page 7, we media types are too chickenshit to criticize Ravenstahl ourselves; we need a candidate to do it for us. That's why City Paper is putting forward its own candidate: the bobblehead pierogie pictured here. While this is a write-in campaign, we think our candidate has what Pittsburgh needs: The pierogie represents old-school Pittsburgh, can be a little slippery and is made out of mush inside. Much like the incumbent. Unlike the incumbent, though, between now and the May primary, the pierogie will unveil a detailed political platform. Reporters looking for substance, or cheap sound bites, are invited to call us.
