States Seek Out Of U S Money Through Convention Or Rules
Washington reports that financially strained states press for revenue sharing with the federal government. New Jersey led a push for a constitutional convention to mandate tax transfers, with 10 to 20 states expected to join. Congress could require a convention after two thirds of states request one, then ratification by three fourths of states. The effort follows Nixon’s planned revenue sharing, a topic to be outlined in the State of the Union.
