All of the governments GAO reviewed held the second hearing as required. However, about 30 percent of the small communities did not hold the first hearing on revenue sharing funds only. Although the hearings were publicized, the fact that very few citizens attended either hearing raises doubts about their effective- ness in fostering citizen participation in budgetary decisions, The Subcommittee may wish to consider whether the requirement for the first hearing should be retained. Never- theless, the Office of Revenue Sharing should remind participating governments of the re- quirement to hold both public hearings. , '5 . ili'l lll 'l Ii~ lili L7 111884 'iGG D-80-41 C )MARCH 25, 1980
