Pittsburgh- This afternoon The Committee To Elect Josh Pollock was informed that Bernice Cohen-Scott’s challenge to his candidacy has been withdrawn.  There will be no court hearing on Monday as originally planned and Pollock’s name will remain on the ballot.

Cohen-Scott’s challenge was based on an older state law. Pollock’s legal team argued that both the Pittsburgh Home Rule Charter and The State Election Code have superseded the older state law.

Pollock will appear at a candidate’s forum sponsored by The South Side Community Council Monday.  Mayoral Candidates and School Board Candidates from the South Side will have 5-10 minutes to speak at the event which will be held at The Brashear Center.  The event starts at 7.
