Mayor Ed Gainey gets right to work
Ed Gainey, the first Black mayor of Pittsburgh is sworn in here by Allegheny Common Pleas Judge Kim Berkeley Clark, the first African American to serve as president Judge as his wife, Michelle, holds the Bible.
Gainey has already appointed some of his senior staff, including the city solicitor who needs the approval of City Council.
And he has put a hold on two contentious projects, one which would require rezoning a large swath of Oakland, and another to put a road through Schenley Park at Panther Hollow.

Here Theo Huntley, 7, of Point Breeze, goes sledding in Mellon Park after his online classes were over for the day.
