States Block Distribution of Crimefighting Money
Auditors report that despite 860 million dollars in LEAA funding, many dollars are stuck. As of March 31, 39 states had not distributed 13 percent of fiscal 1969 funds, 40 states had 63 percent of 1970 funds undelivered, and 24 states had not issued 95.3 percent of 1971 money. Cases in New York and California showed grants used for social improvement projects, prompting lawmakers to question program goals and management. Internal delays and matching-fund issues further hinder disbursement and project acceptance.
