There was a time when he wasn’t accepting PAC money, but that didn’t last. That certainly changed things. And then the stroke.
His wife was probably a big part of the more positive things in his past. He was very active in the town he was mayor of, but outside his wife’s charity store, that’s all gone.
He helped bring in the one Pittsburgh chef with national attention into Braddock and opened a restaurant. Very vocal about how it was going to be local first, yadda yadda. Getting anything to move into Braddock is a big deal, let alone someone with a reputation. The only places that have staying power in Braddock either sell alcohol or is the one dollar store.
But he also did pull a shotgun on a man who was just jogging when he thought he heard gunfire and detained him until police arrived. Who knows what the full story is there, but it got ignored partially because… well that’s Braddock.
