Bucco Bricks, Trash Emergencies & Great News for 'The Pitt' Stans
Should Governor Shapiro declare a state of emergency to deal with Pittsburgh's trash? One city councilor sure thinks so. Pirates' leadership keeps finding ways to enrage fans and the new airport terminal got a little more expensive. Plus, some international students at Pitt and CMU had their visas revoked and the twists and turns keep coming in Nippon's bid to buy U.S. Steel. All that and more on the Friday news roundup.
