    “Braddock is an Act 47 community.” The term refers to the Pennsylvania legislature’s provisions for municipalities (many of them old steel towns like this one) that no longer have the tax base to support themselves. He describes the facts of life for a long-bankrupt town with a disarming lack of spin: “We wouldn’t even have money for 911 service here, if we didn’t get a grant for it from the state.”
    He is the mayor of a ghost town near the highly polluted Pittsburgh - he would welcome anyone albeit he is more likely to chase one away. Sure he is exposed to much fracking fluid too from Pa & Ohio.
