About this Episode
In this episode of The Right Side of the Rivers, hosts Todd McCollum and Russell Dryer welcome Tim McCune, candidate for Pennsylvania’s 36th Legislative District, for a conversation about his background, why he decided to run for office, and the concerns he is hearing from residents across Pittsburgh’s southern neighborhoods and Brentwood. Tim discusses his years of service as a volunteer firefighter, his community and nonprofit work, and his focus on public safety, taxes, affordability, and making sure elected officials remain connected to the people they represent.
The conversation also explores several issues impacting Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, including new health-monitoring technology at the Allegheny County Jail, concerns surrounding the county pension fund, economic development and data centers, and the potential burden of additional taxes on local residents. The episode rounds out with discussion of local innovation and technology, Pittsburgh’s connection to space exploration, and RCAC's upcoming event commemorating America 250 and the 25th anniversary of September 11.
