Sometimes the system is motivated. Time will tell if they people get their money back. At least one guy ends up with a nice, new splitter.

I wish they'd throw the book at whoever did the topping before!

Cool Tom,

I didn't see that news before.

Sounds like the un-educated property owners were just going to have the guy ruin the trees anyway though.

"he was supposed to cut the whole top out of this one".

Little does the speaker know, it would have been a crime to do that too.

They are lucky he didn't actually do the work.

I wonder if DNR informed them that what they wanted done was WRONG anyway.
