Bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio State University, 1982
South Side activist and stay-at-home father. Ran for mayor of Pittsburgh in the 2001 Republican primary election and is a member of several community organizations.
Frustrated with the recent cutbacks in city services, Rauterkus has planned a community meeting for 6:30 p.m. in Armstrong Park, a South Side park at the corner of Carson and 12th Streets, to discuss reopening the city's recreation centers. Concerned parents and community volunteers could staff the centers, if the city will let them, Rauterkus said. He added that attendees probably will discuss things like the crossing guard and police layoffs.
"The volunteerism needed now is going to be huge. The city is going to have to get out of our way."
