While mainstream public opinion was condemning the violence, this Mayor was actually trying to explain its root cause?
On the television, Leo continued:
"We can't pretend this was just an isolated incident. The actions of Luigi Randall were extreme and unacceptable. But what pushed him to that point?"
"In Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, how many other Luigis are there? How many more families are crying in despair late at night because they can't afford their medical bills?"
Leo's voice grew louder.
"We can no longer wait for healthcare reform from Washington. It's too slow. And we can't count on insurance companies to suddenly grow a conscience, because that's something they simply don't have."
"So, I am standing here today to announce a decision."
"The Pittsburgh City Government, along with all member cities of our Pennsylvania Industrial Revival Alliance, will jointly establish a regional public health task force."
