Congressman Jason Chaffetz 5 hrs · Emery County is deeply affected by Obama Administration policies targeting coal and public lands. In a county larger than the state of Connecticut, more than 90% of the land is federally owned. To fund county services, they are forced to rely on Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT payments) from the federal government that constitute a fraction of what the land would generate in property tax. Thanks to Decembers budget vote, they will receive the funds they need to keep vital services functioning. Meanwhile, we have to push back against the Presidents War on Coal and his economically destructive public lands policies.
