==PIPPY PANDERS TO LABOR.==
====Source: Tribune Review, March 2006====
In a very odd move, Republican state Sen. John Pippy of Moon last week suggested giving unions the option to propose budget cuts in Pennsylvania cities under state financial oversight.
His idea would impact Pittsburgh, which has two separate state panels overseeing its finances after near bankruptcy that was caused, in part, by excessive union contracts.
Political observers were left scratching their heads at the usually conservative Pippy's proposal. The only way this makes sense is if Pippy has begun laying the groundwork for a 2010 gubernatorial bid by catering to the city's powerful labor interests.
Wonder how this sucking up to the unions is going over in Pippy's suburban constituency.
