Do you feel the leaked information from a global warming alarmist organization is meaningful?



Pittsburgh's 29-year-old mayor has won his first full term in office by beating two independent candidates, including the son of pro football Hall of Famer Franco Harris.

Luke Ravenstahl inherited the seat in September 2006 from his predecessor, Bob O'Connor, who died months into office from a rare brain cancer. Ravenstahl then won an election in 2007 to complete O'Connor's term.

On Tuesday, Ravenstahl beat Kevin Acklin and Franco Dok Harris.

Two of the biggest issues Ravenstahl will face is ensuring financially distressed Pittsburgh continues to operate in a surplus and dealing with a serious pension fund issue.
