Destin Faces Revenue Shortfall in State Sharing Funds
City Manager Jack Dorman said Destin could receive about 100000 from state revenue sharing instead of 140000. Officials cited a 1984 population estimate of 5840 and very high property values as main causes. Godfrey warned figures may vary 15 percent high or five percent low. The city may also receive 17000 to 20000 from liquor taxes, with broader budget details on Page 8A.
