Sen. Salazar Announces Colorado PILT Payments for FY08

WASHINGTON, DC – United States Senator Ken Salazar today announced the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) payments to Colorado counties for Fiscal Year 2008 (FY08). Colorado counties are receiving $17,600,691. This is $247,722 more than Colorado counties received in FY07, an increase of approximately 1.4 percent.

“Each of the last four years I have fought against proposed cuts to the PILT program, which is so important to so many Colorado counties that have federal land,” said Senator Salazar. “Federal lands make up more than one-third of Colorado. For these counties, PILT helps pay for essential services like schools, roads, and first responders. This program is critical to our state and I remain committed to working with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to fully fund PILT.”
