Pittsburgh mayor wants tuition tax in 2010 budget

Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will propose a 1 percent tax on tuition at colleges and universities in the city as part of the city’s operating budget.

Ravenstahl was scheduled to introduce his $452 million proposed budget to City Council on Monday.

The proposed college education privilege tax would be paid by students who attend post-secondary schools in the city, including colleges, universities, art, business and culinary schools. Ravenstahl says those students use city services.

Ravenstahl says the tax would raise about $16 million a year. He wants to use the money to plug a $15 million hole in the city’s annual budget, with the rest going to help the struggling Carnegie Library system which the city helps fund.
