There's a public hearing this evening about the Allegheny County Board of Health's proposal for 18 weeks of paid parental leave. All employers in the county would be required to provide the leave at full pay. Supporters say the proposal will close a gap for parents who have to take unpaid leave. Business owners are pushing back, saying the proposal is too costly. Tonight's session for public feedback will happen in the Gold Room of the Allegheny County Courthouse at 5 p.m.
