UPDATE: Well, apparently we were given some inaccurate information. It appears the park in question is not Grant Park, but is Warimont Park, as many commenters pointed out. I don't know if we will ever have a clearly definitive answer on the amount of cutting as that is rather subjective, but the Parks Department is apparently insisting that they will not be doing excessive cutting.
I apologize for the undue alarm and misinformation.Scott Walker is at it again. He doesn't have enough money to pay for the parks workers who cut the grass, but he has enough to pay a private company to pull out five and a half acres of trees in Grant Park.
How is this being a responsible steward of our precious resources?
