Pittsburgh mayor had to cut Denver trip short because of corruption allegations

Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl was hoping to attend U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) acceptance speech at the Democratic convention Thursday night.

But he had to leave Denver early when a city official accused his administration of having "a culture of deception and corruption," The Tribune-Review reported.

Though Ravenstahl has not commented, he reportedly spent Thursdy consulting with advisors.
