Iraq War funding bill passes Attached provisions to extend the Secure Rural Schools and Communities Self-Determination Act for one year May 25, 2007 The U.S. Congress passed an Iraq war funding bill Thursday evening around 8:45 pm. Attached to the legislation are provisions funding the extension of the Secure Rural Schools and Communities Self-Determination Act for one year. It will put $14 million into Montana counties to compensate those counties for lost tax-revenues from federally-owned land in those counties, such as the Kootenai National Forest in Lincoln County. $5.8 million dollars has come to Lincoln County in the past. U.S. Senator Max Baucus (D) said he will continue to work to get a longer term extension of the Secure Rural Schools and Communities Self-Determination Act. The Iraq war funding bill is on its way to the Oval Office. The President is expected to sign it. Story by KLCB 1230 AM Libby News Radio, www.todaysbestcountryonline.com
