These people levying the fines are the same Environmental types who know nothing about trees or rivers. Here in Mtns they put beavers in areas where none ever existed, and fell trees into creeks at natural parks, so children can’t float down streams. They are kooks raised in city, with no common sense!

The church was fined $100 per branch cut... Some mathematicians could be in deep trouble.

Some folks will not be happy until there is a law governing every activity of man. We’re almost there.

the left likes to say there is a separation of church and state
so why should the church bother to pay such a fine?
they exist outside the system

City of Charlotte is revenuing with tree pruning. I’d bet they are revenuing with outrageous traffic ticketing as well.

That money does not go to save the endangered salmon or anything of sort, it goes into a general fund, or to fund their salaries and pensions.

Anybody who doesn’t think that all this political correctness and environmentalism isn’t tearing a nation to shreds is just not mentally or morally awake.

Id bet they are revenuing with outrageous traffic ticketing as well.Hey, they have Kyle Busch up in those parts. Kyle alone should sustain the speeding revenue. (168 mph in a 45 mph zone).

What, I do believe, history says beavers, were all over the place, both the two legged and the four legged verities, some of both kinds have flat tails, either that are Daniel Boone was lying.

Yep. Charlotte Police tend to pull over anything that moves in search for an excuse to ticket you.

It looks like they trimmed those trees within an inch of their lives.
I used to drive past a house where they did the same thing. They basically cut all the way to the trunk and then these itty bitty branches grow. This is mutilation and wasteful. This last year the trees finally gave up and died.
Get an arborist to trim your trees.

Charlotte used to be a pretty darn good place to go to when attending the races.
Then the Yankees moved down there and trashed the place.

The church owns the trees. Why don’t you just mind your own f’n business?

Your sentimental post sounds more like they were painfully cutting limbs from a family member, as opposed to something made of freaking WOOD.
