The "disaster" was foreseen and you chose to do nothing.

Dorkus Maximus has spoken!

Pruning trees in KY is much more expensive than pruning palm trees in
Los Angeles. Even with tax increases state and municipal gov't are
facing billions in cutbacks due to the worsening economy. Forgive us
if we put more emphasis on saving our school system than in pruning
trees.

Armchair quarterbacks always have the answer.

Having been thru several up here in MN, Dave is indeed talking out of his
behind.


Sure, sure. Are you saying trees are not the #1 cause of power failures?

You are not thinking this through.


On the contrary, My point is people need work and there's work that
needs to be done.

No you have not thought it through. If you did you would come up with a
list of positive and negative outcomes. You would have to look at these
lists and determine the benefits and costs. You would then pick a course
of action based on short and long term benefits versus costs.

You have not done this or thought it through and just gave a distracting
answer. Good luck to you on that.

Like I said, I was in Houston for a Category 3 Hurricane. The splices
are still on the wires, from where the un-maintained trees shredded
them. They have since been very proactive regarding preventative
maintenance of right-of-way encroachment.

D'Oh ! - Dave,

The Tree that they 'trim' on the Right-of-Way side
then is often un-balanced and then Falls-a-way on
to the Property and the Owner's House.
