Corey O’Connor is now officially – the 62nd mayor of Pittsburgh. He was sworn in on Monday afternoon, making him part of a small group of family members who have served as mayor of Pennsylvania. O’Conner’s father, Bob O’Connor, was sworn in as mayor – almost exactly 20 years before him. He died though, of a rare form of brain cancer, just eight months into his term. O’Connor was sworn in at the Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland, with a reception following that. O’Connor and his wife have asked attendees to bring a toy donation for Toys for Tots.
