A whole bunch of abatement letters were posted this morning for grows up Bald Hills Rd, out in Weitchpec, Hoopa and Orleans. Is anybody covering the issue of abatement letters? There were some issued a couple weeks ago for grows in 3 Creeks and Titlow area…I have seen nothing on this site regarding them so. I know Kym is very busy- this is no slight at all. It’s just curious that no media is mentioning them at all. I’d think people would be concerned about it and such… You can see them for a few days after their posting in the Times-Standard classified section.

Yes. The Times Standard carried lots of legal notices on abatements in Orleans today.

The letters are still going out and growers are handing over cash at the planning dept hand over fist. I wonder who’s keeping an eye on all that cash.. hope someone is. Regardless the planning dept is making some serious money, every notice netting between 20-80 thousand dollars (usually cash) for them.
Pretty good racket

Why aren’t people protesting the fees? Most pictures are of greenhouses w no evidence of what’s inside. Planning Dept is on a roll. Looking forward to their fall

Well.. I think because it’s a civil procedure the courts aren’t a recourse. If you protest the charges they threaten to call in fish and game or Water board assholes. Dealing with the county is much easier then state agencies.. and cheaper. The planning dept let people harvest without problems last fall. So it smelled very much like third world corruption .. pay to play.. but not many option for growers.

Ok. I understand the civil charges- you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. But you say that if you attempt to prove your innocence the Planning Dept. then threatens to bring in the state agencies? That makes sense. It’s a grand strategy for the Planning Dept! Of course it undermines the entire democratic process and property rights but I wouldn’t put it past them. They’d better be very careful who they send the compliance letters to! I hope they are keeping all the proceeds in a special account they are ready to surrender when they make that first big mistake, where the property owner refuses to back down- and they have their pants sued off of them!
