U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) has helped secure a one-year extension of county payments today in the final House and Senate agreement on a long-term transportation reauthorization. A member of the House Republican Leadership, Walden has worked with his colleagues in the House to secure the funding for rural counties.
"This one-year extension gives us the breathing room we need to continue our bipartisan and delegation-wide work toward a long-term solution that brings jobs back into the forests to create revenues that keep essential local services like schools and law enforcement afloat," Rep. Walden said.
Yeah, he helped. Helped himself to a nice stack of cash!
