Primary takes off
Good morning.
Democrats Jason Altmire and Mark Critz had their first of two debates last night, and the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat and Keegan Gibson of PoliticsPa was there to see them square off on their socially conservative credentials.
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl used to blow off complaints about South Side quality of life complaints but now he's backing a $100,000 improvements study. He faces reelection next year, Joe Smydo reports.
