Show where should it go? Moab City Council has called a public hearing for March 6 for the purpose of opening the current operating budget for the insertion of Federal Funds '., received under the new revenue sharingprogram. The hearing is required by law, a congres-sional congres-sional requirement that undoubtedly came from the belief by Congressmen that people in general ::; should have a big say in how their local govern-U govern-U ments would allocate expenditures of the new fed--- eral funds. Since the receipt of funds was announced some 2 months ago, there has been considerable spec-: spec-: ulation as to how they should be spent. Both Moab ' City and Grand County will have a slice of the pie j: and governing officials have had plenty of sug-gestions sug-gestions of where the money should go. We urge interested residents to attend the ; hearing. If federal funds are not used for the pur-pose pur-pose of reducing local tax'requi rements, then the people should have a definite voice in how they '. should supplement such tax revenues. |
