A FAIR SHARE OF
REVENUE SHARING

Revenue sharing was
signed into law in October
of 1972. It’s basic purpose
being to return federal
funds directly to state and
local governments with “fe
strings attached.” The
“Revenue Sharing Act”
provides for a total of $30.2
billion to be distributed
automatically to state and
local government for a five
year period beginning
January 1972.
One third of the
allocation for each state
goes to the state govern
ment. The remaining two
thirds is then divided by
county according to a basic
formula.
The county share in turn
is then divided into three
parts: For the county
government, for the muni
cipal governments and for
the townships in proportion
to the taxes each collects.
The principal idea behind
Revenue Sharing is that
local governments are more
knowledgeable about and
more responsive to the
needs of their residents.
Under Revenue Sharing,
the governors, state legisla
tors, mayors, county execu
tives, county councilmen,
and city will determine how

State University is not only

“We are just about in
line with colleges located in
communities of this size,”
said Dr. Blount, director of
institutional studies at
A&T. “And we believe that
if you pull that type of
money out of a community,
you would certainly feel
it.”

on the American Council on
Education’s book, “Esti

The counties received
about 130 million, munci-

state the remainder. This

director stated that Blacks

abreast of the use of

avoid getting the “Short

official further stated, “1
think its safe to say that
minorities know the least
about all this, so an
education process is an
absolute necessity.”
