At the latest North Coast Rail Authority (NCRA) meeting held
10/12/16 in Healdsburg I was introduced to Paul Trouette, the CEO of Lear Asset Management. (I am one of the
9 Directors for the NCRA.) This outfit is the absolute nightmare of trespass
cannabis growers all over Northern California. They use helicopters and 20
paramilitary staff to eradicate or destroy illegal cannabis farms and arrest
grow “Operatives.”
Lear is expanding their services to include dealing with
chromic trespassing of NCRA right away properties and is creating a Business
Improvement Association (BIA) for about 542 property owners along the NCRA
corridor between Willits and Arcata. Mr. Trouette reported that Lear has only
eradicated about 140 plants along the NCRA properties and was focused more on
trespassers such as Foreign Nationalists who are on the North Coast on a short
time basis camping illegally. Can you say “Trimmigrants?”
Lear is a “Private Security Contractor” with working ties
with pretty much all law enforcement agencies in Northern California.
Interesting meeting to say the least.
Are 542 property owners willingly going to pay more on their tax bill for a play on words business improvement district/association or just be asked anually to donate?
ReplyDeleteIs Lear a state licensed abatement military type contractor? If so, there must be a public and private process opportunity prior to men jumping outta chopper copters, since environmental impacts are known.
