PITTSBURGH — A group against Allegheny County's 10-percent drink tax has submitted more than 46,000 signatures to get a referendum to cut the tax on the November ballot. Friends Against Counterproductive Taxation wants to let voters choose whether to cut the tax to 0.5 percent.

County Council has already passed a measure that will let voters choose between keeping the 10-percent drink tax or having their property taxes go up. Both groups are threatening to challenge each other's referendum in court.
