Ethics board to discuss Adam Ravenstahl seat

The city's ethics board will indeed discuss Luke Ravenstahl nominating his brother Adam for a seat at Alcosan, Joe Smydo reports:

Pittsburgh's Ethics Hearing Board will hold a discussion next Friday of Mayor Luke Ravenstahl's nomination of his brother to the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority board.

City Councilman Bill Peduto last week asked the board to render an opinion on Adam Ravenstahl's nomination. The mayor made the nomination May 19, the day after his brother won a special election to the state House.

Sister Patrice Hughes, ethics board chairwoman, today confirmed that the board will discuss the nomination at its June 11 meeting.
