Abstract: General revenue sharing funds have been spent by the recipient governmental units for a variety of services. One of the important areas of these expenditures has been environmental protection. Municipal governments have con sistently spent greater proportions of their revenue sharing funds for environmental protection than other local and state levels of government. This is because the jurisdictional location for most environmental management activities is in the cities. Revenue sharing should not be looked upon at this time as the means for decentralizing environmental policy decisions. Premature decentralization could result in the delivery of inadequate environmental protection.
