Oregon forestry officials now have a general idea of how they’ll find a new state forester — more than four months after Cal Mukumoto’s sudden resignation from the job. …It could take another two to four months to fill the role, state human resources staff told the Board of Forestry on Wednesday. …In February, Gov. Tina Kotek introduced a bill that would give her the power to choose Mukumoto’s replacement. Mukumoto resigned in January after months of turmoil over workplace conduct investigations, questionable spending and a massive, albeit temporary, financial deficit resulting from the state’s most expensive fire season on record.

The state also faces President Trump’s federal staffing cuts could lead to lackluster firefighting response.
