Timber Payments State
File - In this July 16, 2005 file photo shows logs piled into log decks at the Menasha Forest Products in North Bend, Ore. A House committee hears testimony on a bill to provide funding for struggling timber counties by jettisoning environmental laws and judicial review to increase logging. Opponents warn that it will cost much more than just giving the counties the money, and require huge increases in logging. (AP Photo/The World, Lou Sennick, File) NO SALES
