I saw some comments on my local Facebook page from the tree truthers that were just out and out mistruths and misleading presumptions about Coleman's policies. Glad to see that the best candidate won. I'm betting not everyone feels the same way.

As someone who lives in a different Midwestern city...what is a "tree truther"?

Gary Todd, the head of SOS, recently submitted testimony to the City of St. Paul, arguing against the use of 1% sales tax money to fund reconstruction of Summit Avenue. He also submitted documents indicating that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, portions of the first sections of Summit scheduled for reconstruction had in fact been rebuilt in 1978 and 1979. This begged the question: If a few portions of Summit have already been rebuilt west of Hamline, how old are the trees there? Were they devastated by the 1979 reconstruction? We were curious to find out. So, measuring tape in hand, we looked at the trees west of Hamline in areas with newer curbs, to see if they seemed substantially different or smaller than trees in other sections. The answer was “No.” In areas with newer looking curbs, we saw many basswoods, hackberry, catalpa, maples and other trees that appear to be between 50 and 100 years old.
