MiddletownOfficials Criticize Rush for Federal Funds
Commissioner Ray Fening decries cities competing for federal money as he notes Middletown will receive over 1 million in federal revenue sharing in 1979 and part of nearly 4 million from the community development program. He warns the CETA program sustains dependence and warns revenue sharing shifts debt. He says 40 to 60 percent of IRS taxes should be returned locally, a policy requiring constitutional change. He calls the downtown area changes from the program significant but not a panacea.
