During remarks on the floor of the House earlier today, Rep. Hoyle emphasized why rural communities need this support.\n\n\u201cWhen the timber industry collapsed, Congress made a commitment to support rural communities and their critical infrastructure to make sure they did not get left behind,\u201d said Rep. Hoyle. \u201cThe Secure Rural Schools program, SRS, has been a lifeline.\u201d\n\nEarlier this year, the Republican Budget Bill made matters worse by taking away the standard county revenue shares for timber harvest on federal lands. Rep. Hoyle stressed that this makes it even more important for Congress to honor its commitment to rural America by reauthorizing SRS.\n\n\u201cWe still have a long way to go to deliver on the investments and job opportunities that rural America needs and deserves, which is one of my top priorities in Congress,\u201d Rep. Hoyle noted. \u201cBut letting this program expire and pulling the rug out from under rural counties is simply not an option.\u201d\n\nIn Fiscal Year 2023, the last time SRS was authorized, counties in Oregon\u2019s Fourth Congressional District received over $31.5 million through the program. The Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act now goes to the President\u2019s desk for signature.\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hoyle.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-hoyle-delivers-for-rural-oregon-with-passage-of-secure-rural-schools-reauthorization-act-of-2025"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5735868364572525, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
