Pittsburgh pol: No public money for Penguins
Incoming Allegheny County chief executive Dan Onorato has rejected a plan to provide $153 million in public funding for a new Pittsburgh Penguins arena. "They need to make the deal work without local tax money," insists Onorato, pointing out that the nearby Columbus Blue Jackets got Nationwide Arena built mostly with private money, after local opponents rejected larger public subsidies.
