DENNIS REGAN'S OFFICE EFFECTS SOLD IN YARD SALE IN FRONT OF CITY-COUNTY BUILDING

REGAN WONDERING IF MAYOR "IS TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING"

PITTSBURGH - City of Pittsburgh Operations Director Dennis J. Regan, under investigation for allegedly quashing a disciplinary action against a detective who is the brother of Regan's housemate, was said to be "concerned" this morning after learning that Mayor Luke Ravenstahl personally removed his office effects to the front of the City-County Building and erected a sign that said: "Dennis Regan Yard Sale." Another sign said: "Everything must go." Ravenstahl told city employees to "get as much as you can for this crap, but get rid of it." Chief of Staff Yarone Zober, 31, has taken Mr. Regan's former office next to the Mayor's.

Ravenstahl has not announced whether he wants Regan to stay in his administration.

"There's nothing to read into that [yard sale]," said mayoral spokesman Dick Skrinjar. "The Mayor loves the neighborhood feel of a yard sale, that's all."
