However in this case, I think you're missing that the opening post started with the fact that Janet Tutt announced that "there are no further leads to pursue" so case closed in the tree removal case.

I think the inference that the matter isn't worth any more investigative time is leading to frustration on the part of the respondents.

Perhaps Ms. Tutt's comment should have been worded differently.
Perhaps if she'd said that the District will pay the fine but the case isn't closed and any further leads will be pursued, the comments would be softer.
