You can't make this up
Quote from the recent "Tree Summit" at Parrot Jungle Jungle Island:
"I was shocked to find our tree canopy is very, very low," said City Commissioner Joe Sanchez.
Guess he doesn't realize the overdevelopment and land rape that he is totally in favor of has something to do with that.
To make matters worse, Home Depot handed Manny Diaz a check for $100,000 to cover the cost of new trees.

Where is Monty Trainer when you need him?

Where did you hear about the $100,000 for new trees?
All over: Newspapers, tv news, city hall press release, home depot press release.
Didn't you see the Mayor with his shit-eating grin on tv accepting the check ?
What sort of ungrateful, self centered person complains about anybody willing to donate $100,000 to the poorest city in America?
The type who doesn't take bribe money.
Money for trees doesn't help the poor.
The poor can help themselves by going to places like Home Depot and applying for a job instead of smoking crack and drinking all day, which does not make the Grove appealing to tourists. In another year, they will have destroyed all the work that was one in the West Grove. Mark my words. First to go will be the CVS, then the Bank of America. Then, back to reality.
Didn't Home Depot start cutting down at least 110 old growth trees in the Grove? Didn't they get stopped by Code Enforcement. After cutting down many trees illegally? Then didn't they apply for a permit to cut down almost every tree on the Home Depot site?
These are the same people who cut down trees at the Kmart site and rather than when given a choice to replace the trees or pay a fine they paid a $20,000 fine; and yes they wanted to remove l00 trees at Kmart before they even knew if they were going to build the Key West store or retrofit the Kmart. Fortunately that parking lot is only a third full - not many more customers than Kmart had and probably most of them are employees. At least we saved those trees.
