Revenue sharing funds face use limits and audits
Officials across local government propose using revenue sharing to aid property taxpayers but tight conditions restrict uses. Funds must be banked in proper accounts and require formal appropriation before any spending and cannot serve as matching money. Treasury warns against improper accounting as audits loom.
