Election Returns

PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) – With only two weeks remaining until the Nov. 8 election, the race for Allegheny County Executive between Democrat Rich Fitzgerald and Republican D. Raja is intensifying.

Fitzgerald and Raja both talked with Larry Richert and John Shumway on the KDKA Morning News.

Shumway asks both candidates about whether they would commit to a no-tax pledge, similar to the one Gov. Tom Corbett made to the group Americans for Tax Reform, and what county residents could expect to pay under their prospective administrations.

Fitzgerald and Raja also discuss the financial woes of the Port Authority, and discuss their respective plans for Allegheny County drink and property taxes.

Listen to the KDKA Morning News every weekday from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. on NewsRadio 1020 KDKA!

Both of their campaignes have made me sick. Far to much story telling about the other guy, however i will vote for Raja. It is time to try something different in Pittsburgh!

get out and vote

I agree and also will vote for Raja, being a man that has always been in the center of the right and left, I found myself pushed to the far right more every day by democrats since 2007.

Mr. Kite

Four times Pittsburgh has been named America`s Most Livable City and now National Geographic Traveler has named it one of the top 20 destinations on the planet. Why would anyone want to be under republican rule?

Take a look at the city and county budget…. Pension fund, Port authority are a few examples of being completly broke…. ZERO FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

RAJA!!
Anything but a commie

I would rather have a Republican or anything else than a Communist which has taken over the democrat party.

Mr.Kite
