A SHARE: From Defending Rural America [DRA] 20140114



The News
 
o food - Thanks to Kathie M for providing these additional links regarding the importation of chicken meat produced in China, and without labeling. Food quality and recreational access are two very important topics to getting urban support for the plight of Rural America.
 
 
o food - Thanks to Stacie A for this link: McDonalds Chicken McNuggets revealed under the microscope.

o implosion - Rural counties across America potentially face serious drops in county budgets as "bipartisan budget negotiators left PILT out of the $1.1 trillion spending plan..." PILT stands for Payment In Lieu of Taxes, federal funds transfers to state governments as compensation for federal refusal to convert public lands into private property from which state government would otherwise derive tax revenues. Many contend PILT payments are far below market value, but setting that aside for the moment, there is the ever-present Damocles sword threat of having PILT payments cut off entirely, which in large part explains why rural governments cow-tow to the federal government rather than stand up for their constituents' rights and possibly piss off ol' Uncle Sam.
