(Pittsburgh) – Pittsburgh City Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak today was named to lead a task force convened by Council President Darlene Harris to look into the City's performance during the current snow emergency. The task force will be tasked with investigating, reporting key findings, and making recommendations on how the City can better administer its emergency operation systems in the future, with a specific eye toward snow emergencies.
“Four days after the storm there are still thousands of people across our City who are snowed in,” said Rudiak. “People are angry that it is taking so long to get power restored and streets cleared, and there needs to be accountability.”
The task force will initially convene later this week to begin its review. Until then, City Council will focus on helping the Mayor’s Emergency Operation Center with constituent calls. Once the snow emergency is over, the task force will begin a full review.
“We want to make sure we can dig out of this storm before we start getting too academic. We are in an emergency and we need to be focused on that right now,” Rudiak said.

Just use the Ray Nagin excuse.
It is the Federal Governemnt/FEMA/George W Bush's Fault.
No, I think if you take a poll of 2PJ readers you would find most of us blame the Mayor.
They can't even keep the main roads clean let alone the back roads. It is embarrassing.
It's as if it never snowed before.
I mean, how hard is it to have a plan? "If we get 10 inches of snow, we do this. If we get 15 inches, we do this. If we get 20 inches, be do thus."
It really isn't very complicated.
Seriously.
