Ralph Smith said inequities remain, as the distribution formula is under review. Proponents argue the 400 million dollar funding is not equitably divided due to uncertified assessment ratios. Robert Love of the Tax Commission claimed improved certification supports a statewide equalization.

Audit Cites Conservation Deposit in State Funds Split
Auditor George Lehr released a 30 page audit covering the two years through June 1975 charging that 232000 dollars in federal reimbursements to the Department of Conservation were placed in the special conservation fund instead of the general revenue fund. Officials say money is earmarked for specific projects and should fund conservation work. The issue arose when general treasury appropriations for forestry services received federal reimbursement partly for expenses.
