====Trib's Whispters in March 2007====
JUDGE JOE? Former Republican Pittsburgh mayoral candidate Joe Weinroth is running for office again, but this time he won't be a punching bag for the Democrat mayoral nominee.
The Squirrel Hill attorney announced last week he is seeking a seat on the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas.
Weinroth ran for mayor in 2005 and was trounced by Democrat Bob O'Connor, who died of cancer in September. Weinroth decided against another bid for the office in the special election to determine who fills the remainder of O'Connor's term, which runs through 2009.
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, the City Council president who succeeded O'Connor, and city Councilman Bill Peduto are duking it out for the Democrat nomination.
City Republicans have yet to find someone sufficiently interested in political self-immolation to make a run for mayor. 
====On the July, 2006 power shift in the Bob O'Connor administration, from the T-R:====
Joe Weinroth, the mayor's Republican opponent in last year's election, criticized the firings, saying they represent a step back from O'Connor's campaign promise to professionalize city government. He lauded Malie's initiative for filing the legal opinion on Zober's appointment.
"Susan Malie is required to give her legal opinion, but apparently that's not what they wanted to hear," said Weinroth, a Squirrel Hill attorney. "She was doing her job and she was fired for it. If you're going to fire everyone who disagrees, certainly there won't be any disagreements."

===Statement from 2005 to League of Women Voters:===
Pittsburgh needs change! A two-party system will benefit all Pittsburgh residents. Fiscal sanity and common sense must replace years of financial shell games and quick fixes. City/URA owned properties must be sold. Reduce city council from nine to five members. Focus on neighborhood revitalization, public safety, lower taxes.
