ddition to cash-strapped county coffers, especially in the Northwest. 
In recent years, the law has acted as a subsidy for states 
and counties hard hit by logging declines triggered by measures to protect 
threatened species.Idaho's Valley County, for example, would have to return 
more than $128,000 from its budget of $2.5 million for roads and 
schools. That leaves Gordon Cruickshank, chairman of the Valley County commission, 
in a no-win position. Should he forgo the repaving of even a 
single mile of the county's 300 miles of paved roads, defer maintenance 
on a bridge or lay off two county employees?"We are struggling really 
hard now to figure out what to do," Cruickshank said. "It's a 
tough pill to swallow that they sent these payments out just a 
few months before sequestration, and now they want them back."The Forest 
Service has paid billions of dollars to counties over the decades, but 
the receipts dwindled as logging on national forests dropped precipitously 
in the 1990s -- first in the Northwest to protect the northern 
spotted owl and salmon, and then later across the country as concerns 
grew over the impact of clear-cut logging on wildlife and clean water.In 
2000, Wyden led the charge for a new law, called the Secure 
Rural Schools Act, a way for the government to pay counties that 
no longer could depend on revenue from logging in federal forests. But 
the law has expired, and the last payments went out in January. 
Wyden and other l
awmakers are pushing to renew the subsidy.The Forest Service 
issue provides one look at the real-world fallout of sequestration, which 
began March 1 after Congress and President Barack Obama failed to agree 
on a deficit-cutting plan. Forced to find the required savings in the 
wobbly aftermath of recession, federal officials are getting creative -- 
reducing hours at courthouses, furloughing employees and cutting back services. 
The full impact of sequestration remains unclear because most of the reductions 
have yet to take effect.Ryan Yates of the National Association of Counties 
said state and local officials understand that sequestration is the law 
of the land and that future cuts to scores of federal programs 
are inevitable. But there is widespread concern that the Forest Service's 
action means that the sequestration's reach is far greater than they anticipated."This 
retroactive move by the administration to squeeze more money from rural 
forest communities is not only legally questionable, but insults the longstanding 
relationship between counties and the federal government," Yates said.Tidwell's 
March letters to the governors incited lawmakers and state officials, who 
said the payments came from revenues generated in the 2012 budget year 
and were therefore not subject to sequestration.The National Governors' 
Association advised governors to consult closely with their legal staffs 
before making a decision."No one has ever heard of an age
