It makes my heart sick. This town really does some dirty dealings. I hate to even mention where I live to other people because they just laugh. What is wrong with these people? The tree cutter probably cut all the wood then got paid for it, and so he wouldn’t be prosecuted, he helped the town. Good lord, the GREED.
