It was to fight the importing of steel. Most used the money to increase production and make more money not looking at the big picture. Someone who lives closer to Pittsburgh can shed some light. No, I don’t think so. I really don’t recall the state, county or city for that matter building new factories to help the steel industry. I don’t remember any help to modernize. I don’t remember a vote to see if we should fund a steel plant. I do remember the people of the Pittsburgh area saying no to funding the and the Steelers, Pirates and now the Pens getting special treatment. Don’t get me wrong, sports are ok but they should not come first or even second when bridges are closed because they are falling apart, streets and roads with potholes, drink taxes being levied on the working person to fund a bankrupt transit system. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rothlisfucker-deal/195883)._
