Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor has kept busy since he took office in January. But what exactly does he do all day ([link removed]) ?
Public schedules posted online by his office each morning offer some clues. We looked at each schedule from his first five months ([link removed]) and found he visited at least 51 neighborhoods and gave lots of attention to education, business and the NFL Draft.
Plus, we include a map ([link removed]) so you can see how often the mayor visited your neighborhood.
