A few cities did turn hosting the G20 down. From what I’ve heard, the Administration was getting a bit embarassed by this. Obama and Rooney are tight (there’s been some favor mongering there), and there’s been speculation that Obama’s folks contacted Rooney directly to see if he could sway local government towards accepting the G20 here. ---

My question was: “How does a state cop know the planning process that led to the selection of Pittsburgh as the site of the G20 Summit?” If it’s, “He heard from a guy, who knows a guy, who blew a guy…”, that doesn’t really hold up, does it? ---
