State lands considers forest management options
By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Oregon’s
Department of State Lands
is looking into whether other
entities, including coun-
ties or private companies,
could manage certain state
trust forests more cheaply
than the state Department of
Forestry.
The Department of State
Lands relies on the state’s
forestry department to man-
age 33,073 acres of land
that are required to gener-
ate revenue for the Com-
mon School Fund, which is
essentially an endowment
for public education.
The state land board —
Gov. Kate Brown, Secretary
of State Dennis Richardson
and Treasurer Tobias Read
— last week approved the
department’s request to look
into alternative management
schemes for those forests.
DSL Interim Director
Vicki Walker, who has been
at the helm of the agency
since March 1, had suggested
exploring other options for
forest management.
The idea is for the depart-
ment to figure out whether
it might be more economi-

The Oregon Department of State Lands is investigating
whether counties or private entities might more cheap-
ly manage Common School Fund forest land. The Elliott
State Forest, pictured here, is part of that land.
cal to have independent log-
ging companies or counties
manage Common School
Fund forest lands, which are
located in 18 counties.
“I’m trying to find the
best way to run the program
at low cost, keeping in mind
our fiduciary responsibility,”
Walker told the board last
week.
That
request
was
prompted by the $4.82 mil-
lion the forestry depart-
ment has asked for in the
next budget to manage those
lands. That would be a $1.55
million increase from the
current budget.
That includes the pro-
jected cost of fire protection.
The land board approved
that request to keep the
lengthy budget process
going, but the department
will also look into alterna-
tives over the summer, an
effort that Brown and Read
appeared to support.
“I would not presume
to know what the results of
that inquiry will reveal,”
Read said. “I think it will be
important for this board to
be able to consider that, but
it seems to me we’d be in a
stronger position with more
information.”
IPO threatens legal action
if nominee not in debates
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
SALEM — The Inde-
pendent Party of Oregon
has threatened legal action if
organizers of several upcom-
ing gubernatorial debates
exclude their nominee, Pat-
rick Starnes.
“I hope we don’t have to
come to court,” Starnes said
Monday. “I would rather just
come to the debates.”
Starnes, a cabinet maker
from Brownsville, won the
IPO nomination earlier this
month. He is up against
Democrat incumbent Gov.
Kate Brown and GOP nom-
inee Rep. Knute Buehler of
Bend.
Starnes said he has not
been invited to participate
in any debates or forums
involving his opponents.
Under Oregon law, unless
the organizers of any pub-
lic forum or debate invite all
major-party candidates for
the office they are required to
report the cost of the debate
and advertising for the debate
as an in-kind campaign con-
tributions to the candidates
who were invited.
The IPO became Oregon’s
third major political party in
2015 after party members
made up more than 5 percent
of voters who turned out for
the 2014 general election.
“Our
party
intends to pursue
all state and fed-
eral remedies avail-
able to us to ensure
our candidate’s par-
ticipation in these
debates,” said IPO
Co-Chair
Rob
Harris.
Starnes
Last week, Bue-
hler announced that he had
accepted invitations for
debates and forums hosted
by the Oregon Newspa-
per Publishers Association,
KOBI-NBC TV in Medford,
KATU-ABC TV in conjunc-
tion with Portland State Uni-
versity in Portland, KGW-
NBC TV in Portland and the
nonprofit Children First of
Oregon.
Chris
Broderick,
a
spokesman at PSU, said the
governor had declined the
invitation from PSU and
KATU-ABC TV.
“As of today
we don’t have a
debate,” Broderick
said. “Hopefully
there will be more
debates, and we
can host one.”
None of the
other debate and
forum organizers
were immediately available
for comment as of 5 p.m.
Monday.
The governor has called
for three debates but has yet
to schedule those events,
said Christian Gaston, her
campaign communications
director.
Charitable and educa-
tional nonprofit corporations
are prohibited from making
campaign contributions to
support or oppose candidates
for public office, under the
Internal Revenue Code.
Corrections
The East Oregonian published incorrect information
from Pendleton police identifying Christine Laib of Pend-
leton as one of the people officers arrested the weekend of
June 8. Instead, she was the person who reported a possi-
ble drunk driver and Pendleton officers arrested Christo-
pher M. Rhoades, 31, of Pendleton.
The East Oregonian published a story June 8 about
construction on Orchard Avenue and other streets around
Hermiston from July 8-10. Traffic will be disrupted
during construction but assistant city manager Mark Mor-
gan clarified that one lane of travel will be kept open.
