Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl has decided to drop the idea of taxing tuition to the city's colleges, most likely much to the relief of the colleges in question.
The one percent tax on tuition was suggested as a way for the City Government to cover a $15 million budget shortfall in the city's pension fund. However, if it had gone through with a successful city council vote it would have been the only city in the country to impose such a tax.
