PAD-80-9 1 (1980-06-11)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabaqm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES The Impact Of Tiering And Constraints On The Targeting Of Revenue Sharing Aid The General Revenue Sharing Program (GRS}, first authorized in 1972 and extended through fiscal year 1980, has distributed aid to State and local governments based on a distribution formula that has remained unchanged through- out the history of the program. The GRS allocation formula is designed to aid those governments whose per capita incomes are low and those governments who help them- selves through tax effort. The combined effect of the income factor and the tax factor is called fiscal effort. If the formula worked equitably, two govern- ments with equal levels of fiscal effort would receive equal revenue sharing grants on a per capita basis. GAO's analysis of New York State county governments shows that inequi- table differences in per capita payments do exist. The poor targeting performance of GRS aid was analyzed by comparing it with the New York State revenue sharing program, which is funded from State revenue sources and which uses a formula that has no constraints and does not contain a tiering process. sTD S2 112518 PAD-80-9 JUNE 11, 1980
