Pittsburgh is just trying to get their hands into some more pockets. The burbs should tell them to go to hell.

Cleveland tries that crap around here. If you want to use their water system you have to agree to become part of a "regional economic zone" or some such crap. Bottom line is that they expect the cities to surrender from an 1/8 to a 1/4 of the local income taxes to them.

Total BS.

They did.

Everytime I go downtown, I pay the appropriate parking taxes which are the highest in the nation. They want to raise them more. I do no shopping in the city because of that. They'll never get it: Higher taxes leads to lower revenue over time.
