FYI if you're concerned about MSD and want to hear what members of the Pgh. City Council think about it. I understand that this "post- agenda" (never heard the term before) will be an opportunity for City Council reps to ask questions of a panel of experts on the matter. Members of the public are welcome to attend but won't be able to ask questions of the experts. In case you're interested and can attend. -Nancy P.S.
