Pittsburgh City Councilman Bill Peduto might have dropped out of the battle for council president but, in the end, he out-maneuvered the power brokers, vanquished his opponents and became queen-maker, while still championing the council's role as a check and balance against the mayor.He's then got a play-by-play on what happened.
It started with Peduto and Ricky Burgess battling for the top job. It ended with Darlene Harris becoming president because Peduto swung his four votes to Harris, frustrating his nemesis, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl. Through it all, Doug Shields, Bruce Kraus and Natalia Rudiak stood tall with Peduto.
Good reading.

I especially like the Tennesse Williams quote..."We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal."Kinda remind me of.."keeps your friends close and you enemies closer"
