Why Jeff Bezos Loves Pittsburgh

I love Pittsburgh too, but for different reasons.

I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to Pitt, but returned only once–in 1996–to assist the first Republican to gain control of Allegheny County Government in sixty years. The city of Pittsburgh has been controlled by Democrats–who drove the City to bankruptcy–for eighty-five years and even when I was at Pitt the university was Left-wing.

Now Pittsburgh, home of the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins and host to Carnegie-Mellon and Pitt, may be selected for Amazon’s second HQ.

Well, I have some thoughts about that published on Monday, February 5, by the Tribune/Review.
