I like the idea of making lemonade from lemons and apparently that tree was quite a bit nicer just few weeks ago but Wow!.

If you're laying people off spending $20K on a tree is inappropriate but couldn't someone cut down a pine tree and donate it?

But it worked out in The Charlie Brown Christmas and it probably will here too.

Spending $20 K on a lush, pretty tree when you have a $7 M defecit would have been more out of place.

Indeed. I think that mayor did the right thing. And you can't help but love and accept that tree.
