Jim Motznik - Pittsburgh City Council Independent

Yesterday, Pittsburgh City Councilman Jim Motznik, having just been soundly defeated for the presidency the the council, angrily stated that he was "embarrassed" to be on council, and questioned his colleagues' honesty and intelligence.

The other Councilors promptly kicked him off of the Conferencebike. Today, having seen the error his ways, Motznik apologized for his remarks. "You know why I'm not the president? It's because I'm an independent person," he said. But not so independent that he didn't want back on the Conferencebike.


The apology was accepted by Councilman Jeff Koch, who introduced a resolution to allow Motznik back on the Conferencebike and kick Councilwoman Twanda Carlisle off.

Carlisle immediately demanded funding for hiring her sister's brother's cousin's uncle to do a study on whether an 8th seat can be added to the Conferencebike.
