Oregon Sheriff Draws Line in the Sand; Challenges the Authority of USFS in
Grant County Quite recently, the South West Oregon Mining Association was able to obtain a copy of a letter written by Grant County, Oregon Sherrif Glenn E. Palmer addressed to Teresa Raaf who is a Supervisor with the United States Forest Service in the Malheur National Forest. In his letter of March 31st, 2011, Palmer addresses USFS's lack of jurisdiction to engage in law enforcement within his county and states in part that "your jurisdiction as I see it, is limited to the Federal Building in John Day (Oregon)".

Thanks, MEG
Though I'm in Colorado, I appreciate Sheriff Palmer's tough stand against the encroachments of the USFS into law enforcement. I sent him a letter of thanks. |

People can be understandably upset at some overzealous USFS enforcement, but it's pretty much crazy to suggest they don't have jurisdiction in national forests. If that ever made it to court it would be laughed right out...
