Pirates baseball ended poorly and quietly, but Penguins hockey is just getting started! The Pens are bringing back a beloved player, goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, for a one-night-only, send-off party at Saturday’s game. There’s an idea to build a private helipad in the city, City Council agreed to spend $1.8 million on a plan for the proposed public safety training center in Lincoln-Lemington, and Kamala Harris is spilling the tea on why she didn’t pick PA Gov. Josh Shapiro to be her running mate last year. Plus, Pittsburgh’s iffy finances got dealt another blow over the jock tax this week, and parents of local trans kids have filed a complaint with the state against UPMC over their policy to end gender-affirming care for their children.
