CRAPO, SENATE VOTE TO SUPPORT COUNTY PAYMENTS


Continuation of Secure Rural Schools act is favored in amendment=20


=20

Washington, DC - Idaho schools and communities got a vote of support
today as the Senate voted 75 to 22 to fund the Payment in Lieu of Taxes
(PILT) program and reauthorize the Secure Rural Schools and Community
Self Determination Act.  Idaho Senator Mike Crapo said the vote
demonstrates that a majority of Senators support assisting rural
counties struggling to provide necessary services in areas with large
amounts of federal land.

=20

"Without continuation of county payments, Idaho counties stand to lose
millions in critical funding for schools, roads and other uses," Crapo
said.  "The vote to approve this amendment shows progress in our effort
to ensure that rural communities do not have to forgo road maintenance
and make cuts to education."

=20

The amendment was offered by Oregon Senator Ron Wyden with support from
Crapo and fellow Idaho Senator Larry Craig, who both cosponsored and
voted in favor of the amendment.  Because it is attached to a spending
bill which may be vetoed by the White House, efforts continue to make
sure the program is reauthorized.
