Trees are great. In a down economy with crime rampant, we don't need to count them. If we do decide to count them, why doesn't the city have the juvenile criminals the police have caught recently do the counting as public service hours?

This is city bureaucracy at its best. Tretheway, you are so out of touch with reality.

Sorry to hear all the unions whine about more money not going into their pocket,this project money is probably well spent. Ray T. has been on the wrong side of many issues, but this one I will give him, he is a tree expert, and more scientific info. is needed to protect the great urban forest we have, what is disappointing is the fact we are not properly managing the current trees we have, I have noticed in several parks many trees are dead or not staked properly, the utility division maintains several parks in Natomas Park, and they need to pay better attention to existing trees.

I agree with Mr. Tretheway on this one. I think that we talk about quality of life issues quite a bit, and I truly believe that parks/trees/nature-in-public increase quality of life. Especially since Sacramento has such an outstanding flora collection... we need to take care of one of the (some of the more frustrated among us would say "few") things we have going for our city.
