(Salem, OR) Governor Kate Brown announced today that she will accept applications from candidates interested in being considered for the previously announced Klamath County Circuit Court judicial vacancy, resulting from the planned retirement of Judge Cameron Wogan.
Last summer, there was a prior judicial vacancy, resulting from Judge Osborne’s retirement from the Klamath County Circuit Court, for which candidates were interviewed and vetted by the Governor s Office. Applicants who already submitted an interest form to fill Judge Osborne’s position will be considered for Judge Wogan’s position, and need not apply again.
Oregon tribe wins ruling on water rights but Klamath Basin irrigators challenge allocation

The Klamath County Circuit Court upheld a majority of decisions concerning the Oregon water rights of the Klamath Tribes last week, but basin irrigators say there could be changes in how those rights are enforced down the road.
Using treaty language wherein the U.S. government promised adequate resources for hunting and fishing on the former Klamath Indian Reservation, the tribes had successfully proved the existence of their time immemorial water rights in federal court in the 1970s and 1980s. But that litigation required their participation in the Klamath Basin Adjudication in order to quantify those rights.
