The topic of a tree ordinance came up at Wednesday night's Legal Committee meeting. Ellen Thurston, committee chair, wondered out loud about the fate of the Tree Board that was created during Dick Tracy's term as mayor (2006-2007), when Rainer Judd chaired the Public Works Committee. Legal Committee member Dick Goetz, alderman from the Fifth Ward, responded to Thurston's query, "In the first place, I don't like trees, so don't expect me to remember."
Sign the tree petition. It turns out there is still time.
Sometimes I think Dick is just trying to get our own Goat(z)
ReplyDeleteWhen Doc's not around, Dick feels the need to play the crotchety codger. It reminds me of those 2 Muppets -- Walford and Astoria, I think -- who sat in the balcony and heckled the rest of the Muppets on stage.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! BTW the Muppet critics were Statler and Waldorf.
ReplyDeleteThe happy news is that it is likely there are more Hudson tree lovers than Hudson tree haters. The sad news is that Hudson's tree haters may have the power to cut down Hudson's trees.
ReplyDeleteTREE HATER? I've heard a lot of dumb things in 27 years in Columbia County but this is the worst.

If that's the worse thing you've heard you haven't lived up close and personal like in Hudson, New York!
