Misery loves Pittsburgh

Last week I bemoaned the fact that under the slots legislation passed by the Legislature and signed by Fast Eddie Rendell, Philadelphia will have no planning or zoning control over the slot parlors built there. Well, I learn through Fester that I overlooked a crucial fact: None of the state's proposed slots parlors will be subject to local controls. Municipalities like Pittsburgh will have only advisory input.

We usually get kissed first.
