"What we must not do is cut PILT and then use that cut as an excuse to degrade our environmental safeguards on public lands."

"If programs like PILT and Secure Rural Schools are truly vital to our rural communities throughout the West, then we must find ways to fully fund them."

"Some units of local governments that are already fairly well off receive large PILT payments while some areas that have very limited resources do not receive as much."

"Our public lands provide substantial benefits to states and local counties from travel and tourism dollars."
