Bipartisan Coalition of Legislators Continue to Fight for PILT
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/17/2015 06:55 PM
Sacramento, CA...The Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) applaud Senators Lois Wolk (D-Yolo County) and Jim Nielsen (R-Gerber) for their continued effort to appropriate monies to counties for outstanding obligations relating to Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) payments. Senate Bill 234, introduced last week, would appropriate $19 million to the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) to make past due PILT payments to California counties. While the Governor’s 2015-16 proposed Budget includes PILT funding for the upcoming year, annual payments haven’t been made in well over a decade. “This has been an ongoing issue for 14 years, during which time counties have struggled to tighten their budgets in order to fund programs and services for residents when the State stopped making PILT payments. Small, rural counties throughout the state have particularly felt the weight of this burden,” said Senator Wolk, coauthor of SB 234. “This measure will appropriate $19 million to the Department of Fish and Wildlife to make past due PILT payments to counties, paying off this debt once and for all.”
