It’s the Friday news roundup! After a very slow start, the Pittsburgh Land Bank is making strides and launching a new residential rehab program. Nippon Steel has extra time to make its case for buying U.S. Steel, pushing the decision until after the election. And Pittsburgh City Council is poised to add more protections for medical cannabis users… with a new big exception.
