Revenue sharing is not a "popular" issue like housing, health care, transportation, environmental and consumer protection. Revenue sharing is an issue related to the underlying structure of levels of government, their relationship to one another, and the power and capacity of certain governments to perform certain services. Unlike most other issues, revenue sharing does not involve a debate about what should be done with public funds, but rather who, which level of government, should decide what should be done. This volume presents a brief history of the development and expansion of revenue sharing in the United States.
