Pork is pork.
Sometimes. But the way they explain it around here is that the govt. now ‘owns’ much of the land in Oregon. Land that used to belong to timber companies - made worthless to them when logging was outlawed (save the owls).
Now the govt doesn’t pay property tax on the vast expanses of timber country that they own/manage. Hence these payments were compensation for that missing property tax.

You've got it! EnvironMental activism/extremeism that becomes GovernMental EnvironMental militancy is indistinguishable from the USSR!!!
So the "War on the West" has been inexoribly turning the western states into the USSA and we want our country back!!!
Not pork... just what was!!! Please, people... Please!!! We don't want welfare for our counties and cities! We only want the Federal & State governments to stop ripping off our revenues for such basics as roads and schools!!! That's all!!! (and we want NGO CONservancies to stop facilitating the ripoff!)

Wow! That was a beautiful review of the facts!!! I really miss Wayne Hage and his beautiful wife, Congresswoman Helen Chenowith-Hage!!! Only the good die young!!! Poor old Nye county commissioner Dick Carver also died too young!!!
It's sad to see NV lose these property rights champions and to see that state swarmed by city slickers from LALA Land and the Gay Bay liberals!!!
God save the west from lousy liberalism and their "War On The West!!!

Agenda 21 says to move the folks into the cities and suburbs. This is one way to help get them moving.

IMO, the Federal Government has no business with that land in the first place. It should revert to the states. The last thing we need is the federal government trying to hang onto our land.
