Medford Klamath Falls, OR, October 9, 2026 — Jackson County Surveyor Scott Fein has alleged that Jackson County Commissioners have made “unwarranted” public statements that are potentially defamatory and have damaged his reputation. Fein, who is also the elected surveyor for Curry County and operates a private business, is the subject of a dispute with the county commissioners.

The accusations were formally communicated by Fein’s attorney. The core of the ongoing conflict involves Fein holding multiple full-time elected positions simultaneously, specifically in Jackson and Curry counties, in addition to his private business endeavors.

Earlier in the dispute, the Jackson County Commissioners had formally requested that Fein resign from one of the two county surveyor positions. This request was made while the county, and potentially the surveyor himself, awaited an official opinion from the state on the matter of holding dual elected offices.

The specific nature of the public statements made by the commissioners that Fein’s attorney deems unwarranted and potentially defamatory has not been detailed. The summary provided does not include details regarding the exact timeline of these statements or when the state opinion is expected.

Fein’s legal representation has asserted that the commissioners’ actions have negatively impacted his reputation. The situation remains a point of contention between the elected surveyor and the county’s governing body, with further developments pending the state’s official review or additional actions from either party.
