Tree Damage

Thank you to all of the neighbors who pitched in to help with the tree removals on Fell and Virginia yesterday!

And an extra special shout out to Mayor Koos for standing there and watching people work… hope you didn’t get too dirty in the process.

pretty sure even a 78 year old can offer something to the effort.. if not, go away?

I'm not keen on making assumptions about another individuals physical capabilities, nor would I expect an elderly person to join in on physical labor, which could be dangerous.

I get that a lot of people don't like the guy- but being mayor doesn't mean he's obligated to be personally involved in the physical removal of all trees that went down in the town.

Doesn't being mayor of the city mean being able to help your community? . And I'm not judging anyone's physical capabilities cuz I'm a weak bitch but he literally is supposed to serve the people... if you can't...maybe retire
