Ed, they are planting about 50 trees at the New Jersey Department of Transportation down on Parkway Avenue. They look like $200-apiece trees. I know the Department of Transportation employees have been asked to take one furlough day a month. Who is the moron who decided to plant $10,000 worth of trees when people are asked to take days off? Besides that, they are poplars which grow about 60 feet high and will bend in the wind and smash into the wires. I hope someone gets fired.

What gives? They could have paid someone to hold an umbrella if they needed shade. Humans before plants!—Ed. Note
