Hear-Old Editorial – Tree Posse

Posted on by

Is the tree ordinance enforcement by newcomer Thom “Belly” Akeman a sign of the true mission of the green and sustainable movement that Mayor Cort endorses: The end of personal property rights?

Appropriately designed to promote addition to the urban forest rather than deletion, it generally requires the planting of two replacement trees for each one removed, a provision that rankles the side that does not care for the ordinance.

Adding to the tensions, the ordinance-friendly side apparently took it upon itself to set out on inspection missions to determine to what extent the provisions were being honored or dishonored. Though it does not require any significant intrusion to determine whether a tree exists, that has set off loud allegations of trespass and warrantless search

Mayor Cort DID Call Resident “Moron”

On March 19, Mayor Cort sent an e-mail to his wife, Beth Cort — the organizer of Trees for PG, a volunteer effort founded and initially funded by the Cort family — referring to Booth’s letter, and asking her to “Please set this moron straight.”

Beth Cort forwarded Booth’s letter and one of her own in rebuttal to all six other members of the City Council, as well as interim City Manager Charlene Wiseman, in a message she said inadvertently included the “moron” remark.

Beth Cort said she didn’t notice the remark was in the forwarded e-mail when she sent it, adding that her husband has since apologized personally to Booth.

And add Beth Cort to the roster of offenders.

Did The Mayor Call Mrs. Booth A Moron?

Georgia Booth dared to stand up and speak out about being contacted by newcomer Thom “Belly” Akeman and his tree posse. Mayor Dan Court also seems to have gotten an email from Georgia, of which he forwarded to his wife. Too bad that she did not snip the Honorable One’s comments before replying to Mrs. Booth . .

Last week Ms. Booth received an email from Beth Cort, the mayor’s wife, responding to Ms. Booth’s concerns about the city’s role in “Trees for PG,” a private group. Ms. Cort’s email contained more than her response to Ms. Booth. Previous communications were attached to the email sent. Among them was an email from Dan Cort to his wife, which read, “Please set this moron straight. Thanks, Dan.“

Coming up next week, Mayor Cort will jump a shark at Lovers Point . .
