* Partnership seeks tax hike for Downtown businesses Post-Gazette, July, 2006 -- The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership asked City Council to boost the amount it can charge property owners in the central business district to cover street cleaning, safety ambassadors and marketing. The partnership relies for more than one-third of its budget on a levy, approved by council 10 years ago, on the land beneath commercial properties Downtown. The group's take is capped at $1.18 million. That translates to a 3.92-mill charge on the value of the land only, not the buildings.
