Ooops, I didn't know I need permission to cut down trees on land I didn't own. My bad. Too lake now, at least I can see the pond.

Silly proles. Laws are for little folks. Not rich politicians and their HOAs.

The *private school next to our church did the same thing. The idiot in charge, at the school, said he thought ALL of the creek and trees belonged to the school. He did not bother to ask or get a survey.

*Christian school

If I was the owner of that property, I’d put up an old rusty steel wall with graffiti on it blocking the view to the pond.

That state is smaller than some counties out west. New England needs to be combined into one state. A lot of these problems come from such a small area having 12-14 senators and 6-7 Governors.

Connecticut officials consider declaring statewide climate emergency

Have him pay to replant 2 trees in the same location for every one he cut down.

[gathersnomoss]

Let them eat wood chips...

That filth is worth 320 million plus. They did it thinking they might pay a couple of hundred thousand fine...if that.
They should have to pay to replant the entire thing with trees the same size.

Meanwhile some poor sap out west levels a small low spot in his wheat field and the Federal Government lands on them for destroying a wetland. If you dared to go on his land and gut down a Christmas tree... a SWAT team would hit your house and you’d be thrown into a dungeon with you truck seized and sold at auction.

The wealthy two-term Democrat, along with one of his neighbors and a neighborhood organization, have been accused of removing trees in protected wetlands — property they do not own — to get a better view of a pond.

They totally did this.

[Robert DeLong]

Yep, blame it on the contractor.

Some animals are more equal than others.

[9YearLurker]

Illegally clear cut through wetlands that he didn’t own to get a better view from his home.

I have to say this: LaMont might be a Democrat, but at least he isn't insane. There are some Democrats in Hartford that is saner that the Connecticut Republicans.

One thing about Connecticut, you will see your state senator and state representative in Shop-Rite. Heck, when I worked at my family marina, my state representative was a customer. He was a boater, hunter and a fisherman.
