lly Vince Gastgeb -- concerning the selection of Ed Kress to succeed Chuck McCullough as the Republicans' short-term, at-large member of council.Roddey (left and right, at left) berated Gastgeb (and Jan Rea and Matt Drozd, although not by name) for exhibiting favoritism while Kress is competing with Heather Heidelbaugh for the Republican nomination for the relevant council position. Roddey called the selection of Kress "a purely political move."
'I not only understand Jim's concern, I wholeheartedly agree with his position in the Trib,' the Republican source said. 'What I don't understand, and the reason I'm surprised, is that Jim was pushing for Heidelbaugh right up to the point at which Kress was announced as the pick.'

THIS is why we come here, Infy.
First thought was the unnamed Republican had initials VG, but he probably wouldn't have said that.
RS? JW?

Ed Kress is a good guy who deserves the appointment. I don't know why you would call his appointment "a purely political move."
Ed has consistently reached out across the aisle to Democrats in Allegheny County.
HH, on the other hand, seems to be viewed within the legal community as being abrasive, alienating, and at times inappropriate.
I am a "D" so I don't have any ties to either campaign.
I welcome Ed to County Council.
