While I agree with this sentiment, the ordinance about trimming the trees has been on the books since 1978. Even stupid laws are the law.
I don't think that crepe myrtles were a part of the original intent of the ordinance when it was passed.

Crepe mytles aren't like other trees either, they are much easier to trim than a lot of others. You can trim them most anytime.

Did you read the part that said the state forestry division wants people to have certifications, before being able to prune trees.
Ridiculous. :roll:

Those trees do not belong to the government. They belong to the church. If the church wants to cut the trees down, set them on fire, or even pour picante sauce over them, it's their business, not the government's.

Well, so much for the summer mowing business for 13-year-olds... I made tons of money as a kid mowing lawns... Today, I would probably get cited like the kid a few months ago cited for selling lemonade without a permit...

More government silliness...

Doesnt anyone think that "The City of TREES" might have an interest in preserving their arboreal ambience?
