Pittsburgh City Council will put two of Mayor O'Connor's top public safety nominees under oath.
from Pittsburgh All Local
Pittsburgh City Council will put two of Mayor O'Connor's top public safety nominees under oath. News Radio KDKA's Timira Rush has the details. Acting Police Chief Jason Lando and Acting Public Safety Director Sheldon Williams will be sworn in during their City Council interviews today — a requirement added after the resignation of former Chief Larry Scirotto. The former chief stepped down after questions arose about his return to NCAA refereeing, despite earlier assurances to council. The under-oath process is intended to add accountability moving forward. Council may also address past allegations connected to Chief Lando’s tenure in Maryland, though prosecutors there found no criminal wrongdoing.
