Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Changes In Revenue Sharing Formula

Would Eliminate Payment Inequities;

Improve Targeting Among

Local Governments


Widespread inequities exist in revenue sharing
payments to local governments. Similar gov-
ernments within a State receive different reve-
nue sharing payments, primarily because of
their geographic location. To eliminate these
disparities, GAO recommends that the Con-
gress amend the Revenue Sharing Act by
deleting the geographic tiering allocation
procedures.


Provided that tiering is eliminated, GAO also
recommends that the Congress amend the act
by eliminating or modifying the revenue shar-
ing formula's payment constraints. Such
changes would provide more funds to cities,
fiscally stressed governments, and low income
governments providing at least moderate levels
of public services. Funds would be directed
away from townships, other limited service
governments, and wealthier communities.
