State, feds lock horns over small cities grant program

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) State and federal officials are negotiating in an effort to settle problems pointed out in a federal audit that criticized Indiana’s administration of development grants for small cities. Officials of the state Department of Commerce claim Indiana’s program was judged unfairly in the audit that concluded the state approved $l.B million for projects that should have been mled ineligible and authorized projects whose job creation prospects were overestimated. THE STATE COULD be required to pay back money for the ineligible grants if the problems pointed out by federal auditors can’t be solved through negotiations. (Although the City of Greencastle has received more than $1 million in state-administered grants concerning the location of six new industries, it was unknown Saturday whether any of those are among the grants scrutinised by federal officials). “This is a basic philosophic disagreement between us and federal officials who have changed the ground rules,” said Lt. Gov. John M. Mutz, who heads the Commerce Department. “I am prepared to do battle with the federal government on this. “We’ve never had any problems before, and now all of a sudden we’re being questioned,” said Mutz, who noted the state has awarded more than SIBO million in federal development grants. The audit performed for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development was completed in late June. Since then, state officials have prepared a detailed response submitted to federal officials in August. FEDERAL AUTHORITIES have about 60 more days to close the books on the audit and make final recommendations, said Jeanne Baby contest on tap, too, at Coatesville If you think your baby is the cutest in the county and has that winning edge, mark your calendar for Saturday, Sept. 10.

Meggs of the Indianapolis HUD office. “Hopefully, we can work through the problems,” she said. The audit by regional inspector Thomas J. Bannon came to the following conclusions: —lndiana awarded $l.B million in grants that do not meet federal criteria of creating jobs for lowand moderate-income people. Among the projects that fell in that category were central business district redevelopments in Plymouth, Frankfort and Huntingburg, and public facility improvements to encourage business expansion in Carmel, Clark County, Tippecanoe County and Wakarusa. —ln several cases, estimates of the number of jobs that would be created were greatly overstated. The 14 grant proposals reviewed were projected to help create or retain 2,443 jobs, but only 393 were actually created or retained, auditors claimed. FOR EXAMPLE, A $384,300 grant in 1985 to build a road through the Silver Creek Industrial Park in Clark County was supposed to help create 330 jobs. At the time of their review, auditors said no new jobs had been created. —The state lacked adequate internal auditing and administrative controls. —The state department submit-

ted inaccurate and incomplete performance evaluations of grants because the staff members were not properly trained and supervised. State officials promise to make the procedural and administrative changes necessary to satisfy federal officials, but commerce department officials say the major points about eligibility and job creation will take longer to address. THAT’S BECAUSE Department of Commerce officials believe they’ve done nothing wrong on the major points. Instead, the officials claim they were judged against shifting federal standards and new interpretations of the goals of the federally funded programs. “Our position is the traditional Hoosier position that, if we made some mistakes, we’ll take our lumps,” said Michael R. Shaver, director of the state’s Community Economic Development Division. “But don’t tell us half way and then come back and tell us we did the other half wrong. “I think we’re in pretty good shape, but there are things in there (the audit) we’ll be quarreling about for a long time,” he said. Shaver and Robert Wolf, a state community development specialist, claim that in some cases revised federal standards Were applied retroactively by auditors to grants written under different criteria, for example, on the number of low -and moderate-income people who would benefit. ON THE JOB projections, the state has two defenses. First, by federal definition, the grants go to “marginal projects” that probably couldn’t obtain private funding, Shaver said. In the worst case, if a community hadn’t received all of the money from a questioned grant, the state would shift money from other programs to ensure that a community awarded a grant by the state would get the full amount of money it was promised, Shaver said.

WE LEARNED THAT patriotism is a virtue as we began each new school day by standing straight in the aisles and singing all verses of our national anthem, the “Star Spangled Banner,” led by a young teacher who had been a high school senior the year before and who didn’t need a book to remember the words or a piano to keep on pitch. We learned that there was a lot more to learn about the world than that which surrounded our little neighborhood in the country where country stores and country churches were focal points. We must remember that in grandpa’s day the maps on the globe and in our geog-

raphy books didn’t have to be changed to keep up with the unrest of nations. Maybe some of us on the feeble side have a handwriting “like a foot”, but that’s because we have been too long away from those copy books that showed pupils what letters should like like. SOME TEACHERS OF the era were still in the late teens and were paid a dollar a day, carried in coal, had a calming influence on the beginners, had enough spunk to stand up eye-to-eye with overgrown eight-graders, and through teaching the basics which were, and still are, the foundations of learning. So don’t relegate one-room school with primitive horse-and-buggy days. Shakespeare never said “Bricks and mortar doth not a schoolhouse make, ’’but he might have if he had thought of it first.
