Photo: The mayor's right-hand-man, Yaronne ZoberKDKA’s Marty Griffin updated us this morning on the latest developments in the Lamar sign controversy. Marty spoke with supposedly-hibernating Development Czar Pat Ford who predictably lashed out saying:
o He is going to defend himself vigorously in the media. He’s already setting up many interviews with many outlets.
o He was forced out, he did not leave voluntarily. He did nothing wrong and wants his job back.
o He was SET UP (yes, that’s the phrase that was used) for this because he had gone to the District Attorney to spill the beans regarding abuses at the Housing Authority.
And this last point is my personal favorite:
o He says Yaronne Zober is “freezing him out.” Additionally, Ravenstahl won’t even return his calls.
No …. No matter how much any or all of the parties may want to put a lid on this thing right now ….. its going to continue to spread because Mr & Mrs Our Hero are apparently not going quietly.

UPDATE:
Post-Gazette: Pat Ford says he was smeared and threatened. Threatened by Bram of the Pittsburgh Comet? The Burgh Report says its a bunch of hooey.

Did Marty Griffin say what the beans were, that Pat Ford spilled?
Does Pat Ford really think he did nothing that could be perceived as wrong? Does he, for example, remember getting George Specter's memo from several years ago?
And is he surprised that public officials (elected and otherwise) are reluctent to talk to him? He is under investigiation. If he is not indicted (and I don't think he will be), someone may talk to him. But I think his job is history.
Marty's phrase was the generic "spill the beans". In context, he was probably talking about purported wrongdoings at the Houseing Authority.
But check out my Update. Poor Bram is now getting some heat.
Here's another conspiracy: Pat Ford and I are making each other superstars. :-)
this has gone completely out of control. We are witness to a political nuclear melt down.
Man this is getting very dangerous for somebody. So when do they get a grand jury going on all of this?
hello? ICA, tap tap tap...Hello ICA? Oversight? is this thing on?
