ddition to cash-strapped county coffers, especially in the Northwest.
In recent years, the law has acted as a subsidy for states
and counties hard hit by logging declines triggered by measures to protect
threatened species.Idaho's Valley County, for example, would have to return
more than $128,000 from its budget of $2.5 million for roads and
schools. That leaves Gordon Cruickshank, chairman of the Valley County commission,
in a no-win position. Should he forgo the repaving of even a
single mile of the county's 300 miles of paved roads, defer maintenance
on a bridge or lay off two county employees?"We are struggling really
hard now to figure out what to do," Cruickshank said. "It's a
tough pill to swallow that they sent these payments out just a
few months before sequestration, and now they want them back."The Forest
Service has paid billions of dollars to counties over the decades, but
the receipts dwindled as logging on national forests dropped precipitously
in the 1990s -- first in the Northwest to protect the northern
spotted owl and salmon, and then later across the country as concerns
grew over the impact of clear-cut logging on wildlife and clean water.In
2000, Wyden led the charge for a new law, called the Secure
Rural Schools Act, a way for the government to pay counties that
no longer could depend on revenue from logging in federal forests. But
the law has expired, and the last payments went out in January.
Wyden and other l
te number of crime guns in Mexico are ultimately traced to the
United States, the remark is sure to agitate critics of the failed
Fast and Furious operation -- which allowed weapons to "walk" across the
Mexican border as part of an anti-trafficking sting but ended up fueling
violence in the process.Obama, though, is trying to renew focus on gun
violence after the Senate bill failed last month -- he vowed at
the time that the debate was only "round one" in a longer
battle.Republicans concerned that any new laws will be an ineffective way
to reduce crime -- and a threat to the Second Amendment --
are adamant that round two will not be successful either.At the NRA
conference Friday, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz warned "the fight is not
over.""President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have come out and said
they intend to come back at it," Cruz said."The Constitution matters. All
of the Constitution. It's not pick and choose."Cruz invited Biden to "engage
in an hour-long conversation and debate" on how to stop crime.Biden has
not commented on the invitation. But the remark comes after a Politico.com
report said Biden told law enforcement officials Thursday that he's preparing
to launch a new gun control push.According to Politico, he's planning more
trips to talk about the need for expanded background checks and tougher
gun-trafficking laws, though he reportedly hadn't "really discussed" this
with Obama.Asked about the report Friday, W
