"Every year the western counties have a fight with Congress for both Secure Rural Schools and Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) to compensate our county for the large amount of land tied up in government control and on which no taxes are paid."
Where's his concern when it comes to land tied up by the tribe "on which no taxes are paid?"
Comm. Johnson says the issue is federal, so enlisting the help from WASC and NACo is more beneficial than our own elected representatives. What?! Emily Randall is a U.S. congresswoman. It is her sworn duty to be front and center on these issues, fighting for us, her constituents. This tells me she isn't fulfilling her duties because she's fighting for Tribal rights.
