Bond Faults State Survey of Revenues
State Auditor Christopher S. Bond faults Missouri revenue procedures as flawed in a report to the legislature. He cites lack of data collection, no use of economic recommendations, and missing econometric skills. Delays in processing receipts, notably sales tax, cause a 15 to 33 day gap before state funds are recognized. A cash receipts system is urged but not adopted. Gov Hearnes, a Democrat, presides as Bond, a Republican, flags these issues.
