Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto fears a petrochemical company near his city could drive away potential white-collar tech jobs even as his fellow Democrats warn the mayor’s position could hurt blue-collar jobs.
Peduto believes Royal Dutch Shell’s giant facility 30 miles from Pittsburgh is an environmental disaster that could crush the Democratic Party’s climate agenda. Another Democratic leader in the state who voted for President Donald Trump wants the mayor to butt out.
“If there is one city in the United States that should have learned from the mistakes that it made in the previous industrial revolution, it’s Pittsburgh,” Peduto told The Washington Post in a report Monday.
