Pittsburgh's deficit reaches $30.2 million, deepened by assumed NFL Draft loss, as Public Works buys a dozen trailers for neglected upkeep.

Projected year-end deficit grows to $30.2 million as revenues fall short.

With the close of the second quarter, Pittsburgh’s financial situation is looking even more grim with the NFL Draft having put a $1 million hole in the budget.

Nearly $60,000 would buy a dozen trailers for snow and lawn crews.

A new Department of Public Works (DPW) purchase could help cut back the city’s overgrowth problem.
