Pittsburgh officials scrambled to tweak next year’s budget proposal upon learning the state’s highest court struck down the so-called jock tax — wiping out roughly $4 million in annual revenue. “It did require us to jump into action to make adjustments in what is already a tight budget,” Pawlak said. Losing the facility usage fee, Pawlak said, is not the only — or the largest — challenge the city faces. The bigger issue, he said, is declining real estate tax revenue. It remains unclear how much the city will need to refund to athletes and performers who had paid the jock tax.
