Crook County urges senators to support Secure Rural Schools reauthorization

3848665 · May 21, 2025

Summary

The board approved a letter to U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden urging support for reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools program, with a motion to send the draft the manager had prepared.

The Crook County Board of Commissioners on May 21 authorized a letter to U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden urging support for the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) reauthorization. County staff presented a draft letter and asked the board whether to send it now or wait for an absent commissioner; the board approved sending the letter immediately to coincide with congressional action.

A commissioner said timely action was important because the House was moving the measure and the board should make clear the program’s importance to rural Oregon. The board voted to send the manager’s draft to both senators.

The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
