As Of 6:45 this morn, the city is cutting the trees down on 2nd street. It is blocked off from Wilshire to SM Blvd.There are 10,000 people in this town who have requested--in writing--that this not be done without further examination. The contradictory statements by the city's experts; the adversarial--and indeed deceptive approach by the city's agencies and employees; the hostile and superior response by many members of City Council against their own voters--all of these came together today in this one big act of public destruction.
This day--and the people responsible for all this--will be long remembered in this town.
