What New York, LA, Toronto and hundreds of other cities have figured out is baffling the health folks in Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Allegheny County restaurants won’t be posting inspection scores or grades in their windows for the public to view any time soon.

Although County health department director Bruce Dixon and County Manager Jim Flynn were both on the subcommittee to design a restaurant inspection disclosure program, Flynn said he was "disappointed" and was "a little confused" with the plan, while Dixon added, "It needs to be more clear as to what the rules are."

This from two dudes on the committee, which also included six other health department administrators, three other board members and five representatives from the local restaurant industry.

That’s a lot of salaries sitting around a table to come up with … nothing.

Under the proposed system, food inspectors would score restaurants starting at 100 percent and subtracting points for food safety violations they uncover. Scores would be translated into a letter grade of A, B or C. Restaurants scoring below a C would be closed until violations were fixed.

Under the current system, inspectors record violations but do not issue an overall grade or score.
