It’s the Friday news roundup! We're talking about what the increase to the 2023 Pittsburgh Public Schools budget means when the district's already at a deficit, the fire in the Roosevelt building downtown, and the new historical markers coming to the city.
As always, our Friday shows are powered by great local journalism.
