`SRS' Continued from Page 1... In a joint letter sent to House and Senate leaders, the group emphasized three important goals of SRS: • Active management and restoration of federal forests; • Revenue sharing consistent with historic federal land management receipts with states, counties and school districts; and • Collaborative processes, such as the Resource Advisory Committees and community fire planning. Revenue from SRS helps fund wildfire mitigation, watershed restoration, and states' and rural counties' ability to deliver public services to thousands of rural residents nationwide, including nine million school children who receive vital public services. If SRS is not reauthorized before 2012 schools and counties will be forced to terminate hundreds of county employees; cancel teacher contracts; close libraries; and curtail or eliminate sheriff patrols, rescue operations, mental health care services and substance abuse programs," the letter stated. "Some counties and school districts have indicated they may be forced to file for bankruptcy." A copy of the letter is available on the Western Governors' Association website at httl2: / /www.westgov.org /letters - testimony `Logo Design' Continued from Page 1...
