Full PILT funding sought
This article from the Ruidso News in Lincoln County, N.M. mentions NACo advocacy effort to secure full PILT funding for 2014.
"The National Association of Counties sent out a legislative action alert on the issue and suggested letters be sent to legislative delegates. The county's resolution called for swift passage of a bill to extend the mandatory PILT funding for Fiscal Year 2014 to previous levels or higher.
"The NACo letter to leaders of the House and Senate Appropriations Committee states that the PILT program provides critical funding to nearly 1,900 counties in 49 states and three United States territories. As you know, the recently adopted budget resolution included a deficit neutral reserve fund placeholder for PILT. In view of the bipartisan acknowledgement, the NACo letter asks for full funding."
