Our full statement to after yesterday’s attack on an employee in the Controller’s office. This person was robbed at gunpoint during the day. We are so sorry they had to experience this incident. We hope they are safe and healthy.

Our Pittsburgh Zone 2 Police have made time to listen and speak with us. We know they are working to create a safer Pittsburgh with limited resources. We wonder what has to happen to get the full weight of the city behind the health, safety and security of everyone - including the residents and business owners in the city?

One last thought - does anyone know the Pittsburgh’s Safety Director? Wondering if he wants to walk back his “isolated incident” response as the beautiful people of our city have endured“isolated incidents” every week since our intern was brutally attacked.

We wouldn't be where we are without the incredible dads in our lives. Thanks for all you do for us - Happy Father's Day!

Our statement on yesterday's Smithfield St. attack. We are grateful to the people at UPMC Mercy who helped our intern. We need more safety protocols and better action on the Pittsburgh streets.

The film industry has earned $2.5 billion for Western Pennsylvania since 1994. Why aren’t we doing more?

“Our program has not kept current with the industry or states and countries we’re competing against,” said Dawn Keezer, director of the Pittsburgh Film Office.

“The governor and his team have not been supportive of the film industry,” said Mr. Haddad, who also chairs the Pennsylvania Film Industry Association. “Have they raised the credit? No. There’s your proof.”

Thank you for your coverage of these issues.
