City of Pittsburgh Wants UPMC Tax-Exempt Case Heard in State Court

The city of Pittsburgh filed a legal motion yesterday to argue its lawsuit challenging University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's tax-exempt status in state court, according to a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review report.

The city filed its lawsuit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, but UPMC had the case moved to federal court, arguing it involves questions of federal tax-exempt status and the Constitution's commerce clause, according to the report.

The city argues the main question in its lawsuit regards state law, even though UPMC may use the federal tax-exempt status and the Constitution's commerce clause in its defense, according to the report.
