    For years all we heard was “Somerville: Tree City”. Now all they do is remove trees. In the coming years they will spend more money to fix problems resulting from the lack of trees. I had to jump through hoops to get a dying, diseased, infested tree removed from the sidewalk near my house. Now I guess trees are expendable if they get in the city’s way.

    And we have created another job just for this purpose. Another employee we have to go along with this when there was no problem.
