And or, did not want to be prosecuted for the crime committed.

Illegally cut down trees to improve both view and home value and escape criminal charges, 25k is pretty cheap for that person.

The malfeasor(s) are getting off with a deal that is (another) steal! Looks like they took an offer they could not refuse.

So this "donation" was from the Friends of Lake Miona and not from any guilty party? Is the FOLM an organized, incorporated group with more than one objective, and where do they get their funds? Bless them for their generous spirit, but this crime has not been solved, and should be.

And the beat goes on.
Why not just copy and paste your posts from the other thread?

Could be a PAC of some sort. Or maybe a Knights Templar type of group.

if someone doesn't want to read others opinions, you always have the option of NOT reading them by not clicking on the thread but that would make it difficult to troll

CDD 5 voted unanimously to waive prosecution if the money is received.
