No it won't. Triclopyr is the best herbicide for Tree of Heaven, and it had very low soil activity. It doesn't leech and it dissipates fairly quickly (unless you buy a mixture branded to "work all year").

Here's a link to a list of the properties being challenged. It's really small potato stuff like the clubhouse at the Village of Shadyside, a parking lot at AGH, and some private property that really shouldn't be off the tax rolls. The only high-profile properties are a parking garage attached to the CMU School of Engineering, and the UPMC-owned Iroquois Building on Forbes.

We should give it to him as a souvenir.

Yeah. Hopefully at the end of the day we can get reimbursed from the owner. But that's a long process and that boat has to go now.

Thank you for your kind words.

Don’t live there smart guy just from there stop assuming

I’ve heard pretty bad things about the AHN neighborhood hospitals

I'm genuinely confused: I have no thoughts about your ideas/beliefs. What makes you think I do? I reacted on a public forum about a piece of news, that's it. I even said I'm happy that people seem heartened by this update - and I mean it!

To borrow your metaphor: I'm a bus passenger who is a bit grumpy that we are taking a 30 minute detour but just informed by the driver than he made up 10 minutes via shortcut. I'm not telling the driver to drop me on my front porch.

There are tons of problems. And my comment isn’t meant to be pro-UPMC. I’m commenting on my hesitation to support for-profit schools and hospitals. In general, their business models have always seemed a bit evil.

This won’t stop the building of new facilities that don’t fit what people need, it won’t make a more equitable health care environment at all. It will just make the expense of running hospitals more stringent. What people also miss here is that UPMC operates hospitals that take people without insurance, which operate on huge losses. Tightening their bottom line is going to mean these are some of the first hospitals to close, and others are likely to follow for a system that was not setup for this kind of tax burden.

Having more hospitals isn’t the best thing but for some rural areas it is absolutely necessary.

City should keep it in storage and haul it out for the yearly Kenny Chesney concert - just park that sucker in one of the stadium lots.

O'Hara, so it's because I'm in a good school district that I'm paying through the nose. It's a long story, but I'm trying to afford a house that was in my family as a single woman. I can't sell until the end of next year and I'm spending almost 1/3 my take home pay on taxes alone. My Allegheny County taxes were still $1500.

it looks like individual parcels rather than the hospital system itself. I guess they figure they may be more successful that way...

SNL deep cut right there

This was essentially Highmark’s stance when UPMC decided to get into the insurance game. Once they failed to prevent that though, they said two can play at that and founded AHN to get into the hospital game. This model has been such a detriment to the city in regards to affordability and access to care.

This dude has absolutely no shame. He knows he will get a slap on the wrist so why stop?

Dang. N i just saw homie rollin some dice n the cut..

I get repeated calls of "DON'T SKATE AROUND MY CAR" and "DO A TRICK" and it's always bothered me how some people feel innately comfortable just yelling orders at random people in public.

Where do you live? I’m new here so don’t know which areas pay highest property taxes.

Yes. That's apparently my line that I will not support. But feel free to make your own choices

They claim even physically disconnected parking lots and empty lots for future development that they own are non profit as well. I do not think if these cases go through the HUP test that UPMC will prevail.
