Recently, as part of the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget process, Congressman Doug Lamborn joined dozens of Congressmen in calling for full funding of the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program.

Among other things, this request shows that "PILT provides critical resources to nearly 1,900 counties across 49 states to offset lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt federal lands within their jurisdictions. These dollars go toward supporting many critical services that counties are required to provide on federal public lands."

Recently, as part of the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget process, Congressman Doug Lamborn joined dozens of Congressmen in calling for a prohibition on the, "final adoption of the flawed Waters of the US rule by the EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers." This action would, "have disastrous effects on agriculture, small business, and municipalities across the country. The language of the rule is drafted so vaguely that it encompasses nearly all water sources...including ditches, pipes, farmland ponds and groundwater."

Among other things, this request asks to, "prevent further implementation of this devastating rule."
