April 26, 2013: Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell testifies on Capitol Hill
in Washington, before the House Appropriations Committee, subcommittee on
Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies budget hearing on forest service.APWASHINGTON
The U.S. Forest Service is in the business of preventing fires,
not starting them.Yet the agency set off alarms in Congress and state
capitols across the West by citing the automatic spending cuts as the
basis for demanding that dozens of states return $17.9 million in federal
subsidies. And it's all come down to a bureaucratic squabble over whether
the money is subject to so-called sequestration because of the year it
was paid -- 2013 -- as the Obama administration contends, or exempt
from the cuts because of the year it was generated -- 2012
-- as the states insist.Right now, it's a standoff heightened by history
and hard fiscal realities. But with taxpayer cash scarce, both sides are
digging in: The Forest Service has to slash 5 percent of its
budget under sequestration. The states, meanwhile, have depended for decades
on a share of revenue from timber cut on federal land. Perhaps
least willing to compromise are members of Congress who are up for
re-election next year and are loath to let go of money that
benefits potential voters back home.It's not clear who gets to decide or
whether the question ends up in court. But lines have been drawn."We
regret having to take this action, but we have no alte
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas suggested at a forum last month that
President Obama was helped in his historic 2008 bid by getting the
approval of the "elites and the media" for saying "the prescribed things."Thomas
made the comments during a CSPAN interview a month ago.Asked if he
thought he'd see a black president in his lifetime, Thomas -- who
is black, and a conservative -- said he did.But he said the
first black president would have to meet certain tests."The thing that I
always knew is that it would have to be a black president
who was approved by the elites and the media because anybody they
didn't agree with, they would take apart," he said. "And that will
happen with virtually -- you pick your person, any black person who
says something that is not the prescribed things that they expect from
a black person will be picked apart. ... So, I always assumed
it would be somebody the media had to agree with."Thomas also revealed
that he's never had an in-depth conversation with Obama, and has only
interacted with him "in passing."
