After passing in the Senate earlier in the week, partisan bickering in the House resulted in the rejection of the extension for the program of payments to rural counties hurt by federal logging cutbacks. The House removed the provision from a huge spending bill after the White House objected to the legislation. The bill approved by the Senate includes a four-year, $2.1 billion reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000, commonly known as "county payments." The bill also provides $1.7 billion for a separate program that compensates states for lost tax revenue from federally owned land. Both provisions were removed in the House bill.
