No timber funds, no county libraries
From Times Wire Reports
Jackson County is closing its 15 libraries because the accustomed federal timber payments used to sustain them are in doubt.
County commissioners decided on the closures after Congress failed to renew the timber payments program that paid the county $23 million a year. Other agencies also will see cutbacks.
