Walden pushes extension of county payments Blue Mountain Eagle WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Greg Walden of- fered new hope Tuesday for an extension of the Secure Rural Schools program for roads and schools in forest counties. Walden said he has se- cured a two-year extension, including it in a biparti- san agreement to reform how doctors are paid under Medicare. The House is ex- pected to vote on the mea- sure this week. The Hood River Repub- lican said he and House Speaker John Boehner had pledged to continue the “lifeline for rural Oregon communities” by March 31, and they made good on that promise. He also credited Rep. Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, for his sup- Rep. Greg port in the Walden effort. “ T h i s two-year extension gives us time to continue work on a long-term plan to re- form federal forest policy to grow jobs in the woods, improve forest health, and provide certainty for es- sential local services like schools and roads,” Walden said. Walden said that if the county payments were not extended, the consequences would be dire for public safe- ty and education – and he cit- ed a Grant County example. “School districts like Grant County School Dis- trict 3 would be forced to choose between laying off 10 percent of their teach- ers, eliminating 10 days of instruction, or deferring maintenance for an en- tire year on their 90-year- old school facilities,” he said.
