Talk:Joseph M. Barr

Copyright violation
Article text:
 * "Barr was born in Pittsburgh to a large family, and started his career as a salesman in the city. "

"In 1959 Barr the consummate Harrisburg insider and Lawrence the seasoned Pittsburgh chief swapped roles, with Barr coming "home" and running for Mayor and Lawrence becoming Governor of Pennsylvania.[9] He was instrumental as mayor in completing many of the Lawrence programs, while at the same time having the city's infrastructure catch up to all the progress that Lawrence instituted. Expanded and modernized street lights, water services and the stadiums were all hallmarks of Barr's leadership. He oversaw the completion of both Three Rivers Stadium and the Pittsburgh Civic Arena, both having bogged down in heated political disputes during Lawrence's tenure."
 * "In 1940, Barr became the state's youngest state senator, serving the Pittsburgh-area in Harrisburg."

 * "Barr was instrumental in being Pittsburgh's advocate and used his tenure to push through many of the local reforms needing state help. In 1959 Barr, the consummate Harrisburg insider, and Lawrence, the seasoned Pittsburgh mayor, essentially swapped roles, with Barr coming "home" and running for Mayor and Lawrence becoming Governor of Pennsylvania. As mayor, Barr was instrumental in completing many of the Lawrence programs, while at the same time having the city's infrastructure catch up to all the progress that Lawrence instituted."
