Washington County Turns Cannons Slightly Closer to Allegheny County

It seems that the treaty between Washington and Allegheny County is beginning to fail, and Mayor Steelhead of Pittsburgh is the center of controversy. Mount Washington in Pittsburgh has origins dating back to the first Washington County settlers. Mayor George Washington of Washington County has expressed his determination to regain ownership, but Mayor Steelhead is refusing.

"Just because they landed on Mount Washington hundreds of years ago doesn't mean the mountain belongs to them," Mayor Steelhead told the press.

Mayor George Washington of Washington County argues that the rights to the mountain are evident by the name it has kept for hundreds of years.

"We hath known this mountain to be of our lineage since the days our forefathers set foot in the regions of southwestern Pennsylvania," Mayor George Washington expressed. "For this cause, we of Washington County have decided that it is best suited for our people to turn the cannons of Cannonsburgh slightly closer to the direction of Allegheny County."

Turning the cannons back in the direction of Allegheny would be an act against the treaty, which requires the artillery to be turned towards Greene County. Although he is only turning them an inch to the right, the act is a definite statement that the cannons may continue to turn if Mayor Steelhead of Pittsburgh does not agree to terms.

Mayor Steelhead of Pittsburgh has made it clear to Washington County that breaking treaty regulations will result in Allegheny no longer providing the steel needed to create their own cannons. This would force Cannonsburgh to produce artillery from iron instead of the much more superior steel substance. Consequently, the economics of Washington and Allegheny now hang in the balance.
