Office of County Executive Innamorato Statement on PPS Lawsuit

Abigail Gardner, spokesperson for the County Executive's office, said: “In regard to the lawsuit filed by Pittsburgh Public Schools, we have no comment on pending litigation. The County Executive is gathering data to analyze the implications of a countywide reassessment. Any reassessment must be revenue neutral and not a backdoor tax hike for the people of Allegheny County and should protect seniors and low-income homeowners in the process. Ideally reassessments would be state-mandated, mundane, regular occurrences and not once per decade shocks to the system. Our preference is to work with stakeholders to build a more predictable system for everyone.”
