School funding made a beeline for the low 40's of 50 states in 1977 and hasn't moved back up - which brings me to my question:
Does officials' pay coincide more with funding for schools, popularity of sports or density of population?

I would think that it has less to do with school funding than it has to do with the cost of living for a particular area. For example, NY is going to have higher ref fees than the midwest because EVERYTHING in NY costs more.
I would say that you could get a pretty good idea of where an area's ref fees are by looking at the price of homes in the area. There should be a decent parallel.
Now for the current per game fees in NV:
Varsity 3-man(large schools): $46 per official
Varsity 2-man(small schools): $56
JV 2-man: $40
Frosh 2-man: $40
Plus there is a travel fee of 40.5 cents/mile when driving out of town.
