The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will consider Pittsburgh's reliance on a tax paid by out of town athletes and performers after a lower court ruled the tax was unconstitutional.
That decision could have lasting budgetary implications for the city.
The state's Commonwealth Court ruled the 3 percent tax paid by visiting athletes and performers for their use of public facilities set different rules for residents and nonresidents and that violates the state's constitution.
The 2024 budget expects $4.4 million dollars of revenue from that tax.
Mayor Ed Gainey said in statement on X that the city is pleased the court has agreed to consider the case.
