No Help From Our City Council Representative!

If your looking for Councilperson Cleta Winslow (Atlanta City Council that represents Pittsburgh) to provide timely help on local situations you will be disappointed as I have been.


It has been over a year that Councilperson Winslow promised to look into and rectify homeless people living in a house next to mine. No water, no electricity, strangers coming and going, cutting through properties.

In a recent conversation with her office her aides said; "We can't do anything about it." It took over a year to get that answer. Think the system is broke folks? It is. Period. The city works counter to tax paying citizens. We have people like Ms. Winslow who want limelight, praise, applause and titles to feed their egos without having to do the kind of work that perhaps may not be popular but essential to the growth of our city.

I urge you to add to this post and share your thoughts and experience. Pittsburgh will improve despite the likes of Ms. Winslow and others who want to protect vagrants over the community as a whole. Please check back with this posting as I will be updating it with current information.

Do we have a neighborhood comity or something? I'm very interested in hitting the mayors office with protest over his proposed homeless shelter in our community.
