. One year after terminating his lingering five-month suspension under an ethics cloud by way of resigning in a fury, calling himself a "scapegoat" for a "failed administration" -- and one year after securing for himself a generous severance package from that administration -- Pat Ford is now at the helm of a coalescing regional development juggernaut just 25 miles from Pittsburgh....

The project is a new National Guard...
