À propos de cet audio

 Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Friday, December 12. We kick off with the weather shaping our day, as light snow showers linger around the Pittsburgh metro, southeast along the turnpike into Fayette County, and near New Castle. Bundle up for chilly conditions that could snarl drives on I-279 or through the Strip District, but the real push comes Saturday afternoon with a Winter Storm Watch south of I-70 bringing over six inches of snow through Sunday. Expect bitter cold early next week, so plan indoor errands today and watch for shoveling risks that strain hearts.

Shifting to city hall, Pittsburgh City Council just strengthened our anti-discrimination ordinance last month, now banning bias based on perceived traits or policies with uneven impacts, making workplaces fairer for everyone from East Liberty offices to South Side shops. Meanwhile, police are halting moonlighting for officers with groups owing the city money, tightening belts amid budget talks where Allegheny County pushes the state to cover impasse costs.

On the crime front in the past day, a shooting in Northview Heights left one man wounded and another at the hospital with a facial cut, with police investigating calmly and urging tips to keep our Hill District safe. Separately, a Deer Lakes school employee faces charges for allegedly stealing nearly $130,000 from student accounts, a tough reminder to protect our kids' programs.

New business buzz includes Horizon Market opening Wednesday in New Kensington, fresh options for shoppers, while Dollar General settles for over a million bucks to Pennsylvania for overcharges, easing wallets statewide. At the airport, nonstop Dublin flights start next year, boosting connections from our North Hills gateway.

Sports heat up with the Steelers' gritty 27-22 win in Baltimore silencing coach talk, though T.J. Watt's hospitalized with lung discomfort, so we wish him speedy recovery. Penguins fell 4-2 to Montreal, but Pitt volleyball eyes its fifth straight Final Four.

Jobs stay steady amid federal heating aid for thousands and electric prices rising next month, while Crafton nears zoning votes for more housing near transit to spark growth without flooding neighborhoods.

Culturally, hit the August Wilson African American Cultural Center Saturday for free holiday fun with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, photos, and markets, or the Heinz History Center's free kid entry. Black Market pops up downtown for local artisan gifts, and Wild Illuminations glows at the Zoo.

For a feel-good lift, police officers handed out Thanksgiving meals last week, spreading cheer that warms us all. Tune in for school stars shining in university research.
