SECURE RURAL SCHOOLS EXTENSION APPROVED
                                                 Extension of county paymen=
ts approved in highway bill amendment


Washington, D.C.  - The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved an amendment to=
day that extends federal payments to counties with large tracts of federal =
land in order to compensate for the loss in revenue from timber and local p=
roperty taxes.  The Secure Rural Schools (SRS) and Payment in Lieu of Taxes=
 (PILT) amendment to the highway bill was offered by Senator Max Baucus (D-=
Montana) and co-sponsored by Idaho Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch.

The 82 to 16 vote to include county payments in the transportation legislat=
ion is a strong indication that Senators approve continuing the payments to=
 counties where federal land ownership limits that local tax base.  That ta=
x revenue is critical for counties to operate local schools, provide law en=
forcement and maintain roads, bridges and other projects.

&quot;We were able to find the necessary funding from other projects in order to=
 continue this critical funding source for Idaho's schools and roads,&quot; Crap=
o said.  &quot;It is important that a large, bipartisan coalition of Senators co=
ntinues to understand that the federal government should compensate local g=
overnment for the fact the federal government pays no taxes on the property=
 it owns.&quot;

&quot;While I would have preferred a longer term fix to provide more certainty t=
o the entities that rely on this funding, this does provide a remedy for no=
w,&quot; said Risch.  &quot;Until the timber revenues from our National Forests incre=
ase and refill the 25-percent fund, the federal government must maintain th=
is lifeline to our rural schools and counties.&quot;

The county payments amendment relies on offsets from tobacco programs and i=
nsurance policy sales.  The overall transportation measure that now include=
s the county payments amendment may see a final vote next week.

The original county payments bills have been extended several times since t=
he passage of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act=
 of 2000. According to records kept by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, =
Idaho received a total of $27,404,335.78 in FY2011.  Idaho County received =
the largest county portion at $7,693,842.
