Good grief ---did somebody die from this? Who knows but what anyone of us wouldn't have done the same thing if some trees had grown up blocking our view we had paid "thousand" of dollars on the lake.

Maybe the parties (including the professional tree trimmers) didn't know the trees couldn't legally be cut. Rip rap could solve the problem without blocking a view of the lake---matter of fact a better solution than a government one.

This has nothing to do with how much money a person may saved and worked a
Lifetime to accumulate. It's a matter of fairness.
