Iowa congressman Fred Schwengel introduces a revenue sharing bill on opening day of the 91st Congress. The measure would return five percent of federal income taxes to states with ten percent of the total rebate to the poorest third and 90 percent based on tax effort, aiming to replace many categorical grants and grant local latitude. Schwengel says the plan promotes one person one vote state legislatures and would lower costs to taxpayers while giving states more control over priorities.
