匹兹堡市议会正在考虑增加30%的财产税,以解决3 000万美元的预算短缺问题,Barbara Warwick议员提议将新收入从8.08亿面值增加到10.48亿面值,以产生4 100万美元。 Pittsburgh City Council is considering a 30% property tax increase to address a $30 million budget shortfall, with Councilor Barbara Warwick proposing a rise from 8.08 to 10.48 mills to generate $41 million in new revenue. 此举旨在避免进一步削减基本服务和方案,例如负担得起的住房和紧急车队,因为该市正面临通过2026年预算的12月31日法定期限。 The move aims to avoid deeper cuts to essential services and programs like affordable housing and emergency vehicle fleets, as the city faces a December 31 legal deadline to adopt its 2026 budget. 虽然Ed Gainey市长政府反对增税, 但双方都同意有必要调整财政。 While Mayor Ed Gainey’s administration opposes the tax hike, both sides agree on the need for fiscal adjustments. 预计最后决定将于12月29日前作出。 Final decisions are expected by December 29.
