Ravenstahl is also unhappy that casino owner Don Barden has refused to build a "green" casino, because doing so would require him to ban smoking or create separate ventilated smoking areas for some gamblers.Casino spokesman Bob Oltmanns says talks with the city are ongoing.Just last week, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers settled their differences with the casino over traffic concerns.
