The tale of the young mayor, the Homeland Security Yukon, and the Toby Keith concert apparently ended yesterday with Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl’s signature on a $145.50 personal check to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Mr. Ravenstahl sent his check to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency with a note from Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Michael Huss saying it should cover “any costs associated with the improper use” of the vehicle. PEMA will pass it on to its federal counterpart, the agency based in the federal Department of Homeland Security that made the grant that covered the purchase of the GMC Yukon.

The federal agency had asked state officials to review the mayor’s use of the Police Bureau Yukon after the Post-Gazette reported that police Sgt. Mona Wallace protested the mayor’s use of the vehicle to travel to a Toby Keith concert.
