Is the follow Breaking News Story the answer to the question we asked of the Governor's Natural Resources advisor, Kourtney Limbaugh about the role of the first husband has in managing Oregon's Forest? Ms Limbaugh ignored our questions as well as did Governor Brown by refusing to answer our question or request for information. See our email below.

Meet the First Gentleman, Dan Brown
Dan Little grew up in Boulder, Colorado and later attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins where he met his spouse, Kate Brown, while she was attending the University of Colorado. After receiving his degree in Forestry Management, Dan began his career with the United States Forest Service as a Natural Resources Biologist in 1982 in western Colorado, and moved to Oregon shortly thereafter where he worked for the remainder of his career until retiring in 2015.
For the first 15 years, Dan worked in the field on various National Forests working on a variety of projects including vegetation inventories, managing tree planting and tree thinning projects, designing timber sales, developing environmental analyses and fighting forest fires. He eventually began developing databases and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to inventory and analyze a wide range of natural resource conditions.
In 1998, Dan was hired by the Forest Service National Headquarters to assist in developing a nationwide computer system and national applications to manage all aspects of our national resources including vegetation conditions, wildlife, stream conditions, recreation activities, and wildfire activities. Dan worked as a project manager developing the systems, while creating national standards to more consistently gather information.
Dan and Kate Brown were married in October 1997, and raised his two children, Jessie and Dylan in Portland. Dan became the First Gentleman of Oregon when Governor Brown was sworn in as Oregon’s 38th Governor on February 18, 2015. They currently reside in Salem. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, biking and skiing along with attending events with Governor Brown.

Meet Kourtney Linebaugh the Natural Resources Assistant & Policy Assistant to the First Spouse, Dan Brown husband to Governor, Brown. 503-986-6535
Well the revelation of the status and range of the first husband's opinions goes straight to the execution of our democracy. Is his political opinion turned into Oregon State Statues?
Are public meetings held to discuss his closely held opinions? Are there periods of public comments where the public is invited to present testimony on the issues? What is the funding contribution budgeted to staff the First Husband's office staff. Is the First Husband spending funds allocated for other State of Oregon Natural Resource Programs? Just what is going on here?

Oregon's Commission form of Government is Fascism that rules for the rich while enslaving the poor....
To date, Oregon's elected legislators have blown off complaints about corruption within State Government.

Our Request to Governor Brown and Others Objecting to Travel Oregon Competing With Private Industry.

Subject: Fw: Travel Oregon and Global Communications
Dear Governor Brown. The unyielding corruption of paying State Agency Directors millions of dollars is sucking the life out of Oregon's Tourist based economy. How can you justify the enormous amount you are paying to a bunch of losers.
No wonder Oregon has no money to test fish, clams and oysters from the everyday assault of pollution that threatens to destroy our economy. No wonder ODFW is unable to fund wildlife projects designed to enhance ecological productivity and sustain the survival of species once common in Oregon.

Audit calls out high salaries for Travel Oregon executives — Pay for the director and other managers of Oregon’s travel bureau is among the highest of any state agency, even though Travel Oregon has a much smaller staff and budget ... as reported in the Columbian.
My Request to Rep Gomberg to stop Robbing the State Treasury by paying Oregon State Employees HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY to compete with private industry.

Dear Rep Gomberg, How DEEP does the corruption go in Travel Oregon??? Someone is lying, but who. Is it you or the ones who claimed everything is on the up and up. Thank you, William Lackner
The travel industry used to be huge in Oregon. Travel Oregon is squeezing out travel agencies.
Is there any on going auditing to verify how State funds are being spent? Say for Travel Oregon and Global Communications?
Why is Oregon allowing State Agencies to displace private businesses with lottery funded State Agencies?
Your business is international importing kites from all over the World. Does this influence how you vote on bills governing the travel industry, say Travel Oregon?
Why do I have to compete with the State of Oregon to do Business?
Thank you for your consideration. William Lackner

You forgot to mention ODFW Director Curt Melcher and his family business Melcher Logging Co Inc. 1328 Clark Mill Rd, Sweet Home, OR 97386 [/b][/div]
Is Curt helping our fisheries? Trapping the keystone species that are necessary for healthy fisheries is evidence. Melcher is setting chokers on the Coho salmon recovery. More Oregon corruption.

The Oregon Senate confirmed a broad slate of executive appointments to a wide range of state boards and commissions on Friday.
Conspicuously absent from the list were three individuals that the governor had nominated to serve on one of the most consequential and controversial panels governing Oregon’s natural resource agencies: the Board of Forestry.
