Five Morrow county cities will receive a total of S9.833 in ad ditional state liquor revenues during the next two years, Rep. Irvin Mann said. Rep. Mann said that he sup ported a revised liquor revenue distribution formula which increases the share of reve nues that cities receive from 14 to 20 percent. Under the plan, Boardman will receive an additional $1,205; Heppner an additional $5,752; lone an additional $1,119; Irrigon an additional $1,068; and Lexington an additional $689. Legislative approval of the plan, Rep. Mann said, will re sult in an additional $4 million revenue to hard-pressed city governments during the coming biennium. He said that the share to be received by the Morrow county government will remain at the present percentage. The increase for cities will result in a reduc tion in revenue to state govern ment. In addition, budget increases for existing programs have been cut back to make savings on the state level, he said. Of an anticipated state revenue growth of $100 million during the next two years, $75 million will be sent back to cities, counties and local schools to help with local financing problems. Rep.
