Friends Against Counterproductive Taxation (FACT), a hospitality group in Allegheny County, Penn., are upset on how extra funds from a $2 per day tax on car rentals are being spent in the county, according to the Pittsburgh Business Times.
Additional money from the car rental tax, along with funds from a 10 percent drink tax, are supposed to go towards the region’s Port Authority transit system. However, FACT, along with county councilman Chuck McCullough, filed a lawsuit stating the funds were being spent on other priorities, after Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato said he planned to use the extra revenue on infrastructure projects.
