* Udin heads effort to block Freedom Corner takeover Sala Udin heads effort to blockFreedom Corner takeover, July 2008, from the New Pgh Courier. Pittsburgh City Council is currently seeking to gain control of the Hill District’s historic site, Freedom Corner.

===Trib's Tuesday Takes===
No pardon for Sala: The state Board of Pardons next month (Sept. 2006) will hear Sala Udin's request to have his long-past criminal record wiped clean. If the board agrees, and Gov. Ed Rendell issues the pardon, the former Pittsburgh councilman can be included in a group that wants to become a slot machine distributor. But given that Mr. Udin has a long history of thumbing his nose at the public, why should the public's representatives grant him any special dispensation?
