“There should be softball, baseball, swimming, track and field this summer, this summer for all of our kids,” said Turzai.
This City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County announced last week swimming pools, playgrounds, city sponsored team sports and 5K races would not be held this summer.
Turzai has been a harsh a critic of shutdowns in the face of COVID-19.
