Library Referendum: City of Pittsburgh Votes Tomorrow

Some local residents—who reside in the City of Pittsburgh—will vote "yes" or "no" on : "Shall a 0.25 mills special tax be imposed by the City of Pittsburgh on all taxable real estate in the city of Pittsburgh effective Jan. 1, 2012 and thereafter, the proceeds of which shall be allocated and used only for the maintenance and operation of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh?"

If the question is approved by voters, a tax equivalent to $25 a year on each $100,000 of assessed value will be levied on all real estate in the city. A "yes" vote will be in support of the proposal.
