Dangerous Tree

Fallen Tree
On the northeast corner of 115th street and St. Louis, there is a dead tree. I see it every week when we go shopping. It looks like an Elm and it's getting ready to fall. When it does fall, it will fall upon whatever happens to be below it at that given moment. Cars, schoolchildren, whatever. The problem is that the tree is located upon private property and the owner is either oblivious or short of sufficient funds. Either way, something needs to be done now. I call upon our local city officials to rope the area off and give the resident a few days to remove the tree. If the tree is not removed quickly, the city has the option of making an emergency removal.

    Im sure sheriff Dart would be more than willing to get involved if the property owner is a poor african american and he can get his picture in the paper.

    How about the local politician that parks his Buick in a handicapped zone, pointing the wrong way, while he runs into the Mount Greenwood post office, at 8.15 this morning. Nice going buddy.
