Ed, I’m replying to Tree Patrol. This person needs to get a life! This is an honor for our state and Hamilton Township. Throughout the world they can get a tree anywhere and they picked one from Hamilton Township. To see the people out there watching that tree being cut down actually gave me goosebumps. Lady, man, whoever you are, get a life and get over it. We do need a cop to do certain jobs, and they’re doing a good job as it is.

Tree Giddy

As another reader noted, the tree people paid for the cop’s duties. Anyway, it is pretty cool that the nation’s most famous Christmas tree came from Hamilton this year. All the little spruces in the township can dream of growing up to be just like him. —Ed. Note
