I notified the director directly of the covert surveillance encounter — an unidentified man sent to interrogate me while I was alone, during a regional event when all rangers were away. I asked three direct questions: Do those photos exist? Were they ever published? Was this encounter logged anywhere in your internal systems? She never responded.

I sent a comprehensive open letter with audio recordings, video documentation, email chains, and written evidence of First Amendment retaliation. She responded within twelve hours with procedural language and no commitments. No investigation was ordered. No employees were held accountable. No protections were implemented.

I submitted a comprehensive public records request. OPRD went silent for 90 days — a violation of Oregon public records law. After a formal Notice of Violation, they claimed to have responded through an internal portal I had no access to. Cost estimate for fulfillment: tens of thousands of dollars.

I sent supplemental evidence including video documentation. She never responded.

She closed communication. Her letter reframed a comprehensive documented record of First Amendment retaliation, recorded coercion, and identity-based targeting as a personal emotional experience. She wrote that it had been “deeply painful for you.” She cited “the frustration and hurt in your words.” She wished me “healing.” She said she did not believe further correspondence would “lead to the resolution you’re seeking.”
