sequestration," Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell wrote in March to governors
in 41 states, explaining that since the payments were issued in the
2013 budget year, the money would be subject to sequestration.Infuriated,
Republicans and Democrats from Capitol Hill to the governor's offices banded
together to fight back, arguing the money was paid to the states
well before the spending reductions went into effect. The governors of Alaska
and Wyoming have flat out refused to send the money back."The frustration
level is off the charts on this," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.,
whose timber-rich state is the top recipient of the Forest Service payments
and stands to lose nearly $3.6 million.Wyden, chairman of the Senate Energy
and Natural Resources Committee, said he and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski,
the panel's top Republican, are working together to "turn this around" so
their states and others are not forced to return any money to
the federal government."This is slap-your-forehead-in-disbelief kind of
stuff," Wyden said.At issue are so-called county payments, a revenue sharing
plan that's existed since President Teddy Roosevelt created the national
forests to protect timber reserves from the cut-and-run logging going on
at the time. For nearly a century, hundreds of counties received a
quarter of the revenue from the timber sold on federal land. The
money is being used for roads, schools and emergency services and is

awmakers are pushing to renew the subsidy.The Forest Service
issue provides one look at the real-world fallout of sequestration, which
began March 1 after Congress and President Barack Obama failed to agree
on a deficit-cutting plan. Forced to find the required savings in the
wobbly aftermath of recession, federal officials are getting creative --
reducing hours at courthouses, furloughing employees and cutting back services.
The full impact of sequestration remains unclear because most of the reductions
have yet to take effect.Ryan Yates of the National Association of Counties
said state and local officials understand that sequestration is the law
of the land and that future cuts to scores of federal programs
are inevitable. But there is widespread concern that the Forest Service's
action means that the sequestration's reach is far greater than they anticipated."This
retroactive move by the administration to squeeze more money from rural
forest communities is not only legally questionable, but insults the longstanding
relationship between counties and the federal government," Yates said.Tidwell's
March letters to the governors incited lawmakers and state officials, who
said the payments came from revenues generated in the 2012 budget year
and were therefore not subject to sequestration.The National Governors'
Association advised governors to consult closely with their legal staffs
before making a decision."No one has ever heard of an age
