View all City Cast Pittsburgh episodes

Our region’s top elected official just released a proposed budget for 2025, and it includes our first tax increase in more than a decade. We’re sitting down with County Executive Sara Innamorato to talk about why she pitched something she knows will be super unpopular, what’s at stake, and how you can get involved.

You can catch all the action from past and present County Council meetings on YouTube.
