PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl has turned over a $12,000 check and a contract he has for home improvements to a federal grand jury.
The grand jury is believed to be investigating whether the mayor is involved in funding irregularities as his bodyguards have recently been subpoenaed to testify about city-issued credit cards.
The new records pertain to work being done on Ravenstahl's Hazelton Street home by All State Development in New Homestead.
The company is linked to an excavating firm which has done $2.2 million worth of work for the city since 2010.
Channel 11’s Alan Jennings reported that the interior and exterior work on Ravenstah’s home is estimated at nearly $90,000.
All State's owner, Bill Rogers, acknowledged the records were turned over as has the mayor's attorney, Charles Porter Jr.
Porter said the work is legal and isn't being done for free.
