Erin Molchany Dips Toe Into 27th's Murky Water

Despite her association with the Pittsburgh Urban Magnet Project, we perceive Erin Molchany's expression of interest in the campaign for state representative from the 27th District as a positive development. The seat is currently occupied by Dan Deasy, known principally for using his water authority position to steer profits to List-Makers at ratepayer expense. (With Deasy's help, reptilian scavenger RDM seems to be preparing to rise again from PWSA's brackish pool shortly.)

Daniel J Deasy 42.5%
Paul F Renne 20.6%
Melissa Rossiter 18.9%
Erin C Molchany 10.2% (629 votes)

The PUMPers have been the future of our region back to the Tom Murphy era.

How has that been working out?

Other than for their resumes, we mean.

I forget - was it more Thai restaurants that PUMP was pushing for? Or more climbing walls? I keep getting them confused with PYP...

Most of the "PUMP" member that I have met, who are supposed to be young, urban professionals, have been neither young, nor city dwellers nor professionals.

It is refreshing to see a "Pump" member who not only lives in Allegheny County but who actually lives in the City of Pittsburgh.

I'm still waiting for a Thai restaurant with a climbing wall.

It always seemed to me that every woman at PUMP was named Erin, so I can't even remember which one this is for sure.

When the Propel Pittsburgh Commission came along, it robbed PUMP of a lot of its dynamism and influence.

We hope that was sarcasm.

The Allegheny County DEMS won't support a woman for the state house. And why, when you have "Dynamic" Dan Deasy (who is busy screwing up the Pittsburgh water & Sewer Authority as its Chairman of the Board) and doing what he is told by Luke, and working on the PWSA privatization for R-House Leader Turzi?

The Allegheny County Dems won't support a woman for St Rep. And why should they when they have "Dynamic" Dan Deasy! He needs to be there for "Lascivious" Luke while they screw up the Pittsburgh Water & Sewer Authority and help "Goofball" Mike Turzai's plan to privatize it .

Oh the humanity!
