(Pittsburgh, PA) The administration of Mayor Corey O’Connor will begin cutting the finances of Pittsburgh this week as it tries to close a budget gap of $30 million to $40 million. They accuse the Gainey administration of raiding city trust funds to pay for some programs and departments while underfunding others. The Steel City will petition the Pittsburgh City Council to reopen the budget and start outlining a series of cuts to close the budget gap.
