Revenue Sharing

What is revenue sharing? Revenue sharing is money that local governments, such as townships, cities, villages and counties, receive from the state.  Revenue sharing was established in 1946 by a vote of the people through a constitutional amendment to replace and relieve local taxation.  More information about revenue sharing can be found in this article.
