Allegheny County District 10 Councilman Bill Robinson has introduced legislation that would require contractors and their subcontractors, that receive county subsidies of $100,000 or more to pay employees a prevailing wage.

That wage would be either the wage paid to the majority of employees in the job classification at similar locations in Allegheny County, or the wages determined by the (state) Secretary of Labor for the job classification, which ever is higher.

After winning the Super Bowl in 2009 the Steelers didn’t make the playoffs this season. We asked Pittsburghers what they thought. Here’s what they said:

“Not being prepared for Troy getting hurt, not having confidence in the corners, not having confidence in players knowing what they were suppose to do. I definitely think they’ll be able to bounce back. I think  prepare themselves for the next season.”
