County to receive nearly 60 Million in Timber funds
Jackson County Commissioner C. W. Smith said $50 million to $60 million is the rough estimate of how much money the county will receive over the next four years. Smith said the money will continue to put Jackson County on a firm financial footing and will help other counties in Southern Oregon that faced the prospect of drastic cutbacks in road maintenance, law enforcement and other services.

Oregon has so much government owned (I always thought that meant "We the Poeple" owned it) timber, and it cannot be cut, so we must always suck off the rest of the counrty to survive.
