Throwing more money away on Virginia Manor decorating guide

Back in 2015, the Historic Preservation Board, along with staff liaison Susan Morgans spent $25,000 on a decorating guide for Virginia Manor. See Oops, there goes $25K The commissioners scrapped the idea. Then in my February 2017 post, Commissioners, please save Christmas for discriminating residents, I predicted that the Historic Preservation Board will ask the commission to revisit the decorating guide. Guess what was in today's Administrative Report. I called it!

This is the same group that wanted to keep brick streets in Ward 1. How much is this online design costing taxpayers this time? 

Bonnie VanKirk will replace Raja in Ward 1

After listening to the four interviews, the Mt. Lebanon Commissioners did the right thing and eliminated the two candidates running in the November election.  At the start of his interview, John Bendel, Democratic candidate for Ward 1, withdrew his name since he said that there were two candidates who came forward and are not running in the November election.
The Commissioners narrowed the selection to Frank Horrigan from Arden Road, and Bonnie VanKirk from Osage Road.  The vote was 3-0 (Commissioner DeIuliis was absent) to appoint Bonnie VanKirk to fill the unexpired term as Commissioner of the First Ward of Mt. Lebanon.
