5. Not a city resident, but did hear

O'Connor's announcement he was running. He didn't specifically say these words, but it was clear to me his message was that only he, a white male, could fix the issues that are affecting the city. Then again, not really surprising because many people cannot stand it that a black man is the mayor. Brendan McGinley of the Post-Gazette editorial page and a rw catholic hates Gainey and his op-ed columns reflect that view.

There are actually 2 Rs running in the R primary, but whoever wins the Dem primary will very likely be the next mayor of Pittsburgh.
