Sounds like the simple solution would be to just remove the trees altogether and let Charlotte be known as the city too stupid to have trees.
LOL!
Sounds like a challenge is due here. I mean, who decides what overpruning is? How many branches per age and type of tree is lawful? Who and how was the fine per branch determined? Who goes around counting these branches? Is the person who does, knowledgeable about the “proper” number of branches a tree might have? Can you remove diseased branches and fall within the proper number of branches?
How can anything look more stupid!
I certainly hope the church has a lawyer and is willing to fight this. Why is it that liberals always know better and want to tell others what to do while professing to give us liberty? Fight now, fight hard, or all our freedoms will be gone before we know it! Nothing is too small to be ignored.
