City Controller Rachael Heisler

I joined Medic 14 of Pittsburgh Bureau of EMS to learn more about the work our paramedics do and see the unique challenges they face. It’s a difficult, stressful job, and we need to make sure they have the resources and support they need to do this life-saving work. Thank you to all of EMS for your service to the city – and happy birthday to Medic Bendig!

Our Annual Comprehensive Financial Report details every dollar the City brings in and every dollar it spends. Here’s a glimpse of where our money comes from and where your money goes, and you can read the full report here:https://www.pittsburghpa.gov/files/assets/city/v/1/controller/documents/annual-comprehensive-financial-report/city-of-pittsburgh-acfr-final-2025-3.pdf

Thanks to everyone at the African American Chamber of Commerce of Western Pennsylvania for having me last week at the annual PowerBreakfast. Great conversations about the work we’re doing to improve City finances, grow our population and economy, and support Black-owned businesses and work training programs.
