We want to thank all of you – nearly 1,000 supporters – who came out to our Whiskey Rebellion II Kickoff Party June 17 at Pittsburgh’s Grand Hall. The event was a huge success and a lot of fun as attendees enjoyed music from Pittsburgh’s Irish Balladeer Terry Griffith and the Soul Merchants and heard speeches from local politicians, bar and restaurant owners and F.A.C.T. board members. Check out some pictures from the event below.

OK, check it out. A Bus Driver in Allegheny County can retire at 46, get his/her full health care benefits and it’s too upsetting to write anymore! You have to read for yourself the outlandish entitlements we’re been paying for to PAT and now we’re giving up the Drink Tax to them too – UGH!
Only in Allegheny County!!
Read this new Policy Brief from the Allegheny County Institute for Public Policy – Amalgamated Transit’s Outlandish Sense of Entitlement.
Filed under: Uncategorized
Jake Haulk and his team at the Allegheny County Institute for Public Policy does some great, insightful work – they’re true Patriots looking out for the public’s welfare. Check out the following Policy Brief – this unfair Drink Tax is basically fulfilling the old saying about throwing good money after bad!
