Former Pittsburgh Mayor Murphy Comes Out Against Buncher Project from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"In a rare return to city hall, former Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy this morning said Buncher Co.'s proposed Strip District project does not represent the kind of "world class" development that has marked Pittsburgh's transformation. Mr. Murphy was invited to council's standing committee by Councilman Patrick Dowd, who has held up a tax-increment financing plan for the project because of various concerns, including what he calls a lack of public access to the Allegheny River."
