I'm getting pretty sick of crap like this. What makes this worse is that Litchfield County is 33/22 Republican the only even slightly GOP county in the state so presumably there are some GOPers on this Board. If so shame on them. And for my money they ARE unpatriotic!

Not always a good assumption; a lot depends on how well-organized the libs are and whether they can get their morons out to vote.
In a majority Republican village north of me, “activists” (AKA nanny staters) tried to enact an historical landmark designation for the entire village despite some sad looking ranch houses. Essentially, these clowns didn’t want new construction to make their domains less marketable but they wanted the entire village to suffer on their behalf. Although the vote was in an off year, opponents (mostly conservative Republicans and Libertarians were able to vote it down, just barely). The landmark proponents were hoping to use an off year and organization to overcome the majority.

This is another
elections have consequences, politically correct, moments in time.
Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I’m guessing they’re just liberal weenies. Even if there was something to their arguments they could easily be overcome without stripping the ribbons.

Litchfield is a town for disaffected Greenwich types who want to "live in the country". Although tiny, Litchfield makes up for it in phoniness.
Believe me, any Republican up there is a "Lowell Weicker/William Weld" type more interested in rubbing elbows with their own type at the country club than loving their country. It's a superficially lovely place with some beautiful countryside, but the people are nauseating.

This is an small example of the reason why I left New England 27 Years ago and never went back. Heck, my own mother believes my 22 years in the Air Force was a waste of time.
Anyway, I hope to meet you when you came to visit the panhandle...

Where's the local American Legion, VFW and VVA members?
They should be standing six deep in front of those trees defying and daring authorities to remove the ribbons.

they said other groups supporting other causes would want to put their ribbons up.
Why can't every cause get one tree? You'd have to be pretty cold to deny an Autism awareness or blue/pink ribbons.
tying ribbons around the trees poses a danger to them because the ribbons could cause a deadly tree fungus and kill the trees.
I may not be a dendrologist, but I'm going to go out on a limb and call BS.
ribbons werent cared for and became an eyesore amid the neat and clean look of the Green.
New rule: "Want a ribbon up? Maintain it!"
These people are either stupid or were acting maliciously.

So if instead of yellow ribbons they tied lavender AIDS ribbons on the trees do you think the town would have an issue with it? Just asking.
