Washington (CNN) - A handful of Republican governors are declining to pay their annual dues to the National Governors Association as they seek ways to trim state government costs in a down economy.

The NGA, a bipartisan organization of the nation's governors that meets twice a year to discuss issues of public policy and governance, is holding its annual winter meeting in Washington this weekend

But at least three states – Texas, South Carolina and Idaho – will not pay their annual NGA dues this year, which can range from $22,000 to $176,200, and are likely to skip NGA functions.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry will also be passing on the NGA payment. A spokesman for the governor, who chairs the Republican Governors Association, said he "withdrew membership several years ago."
