In fact, if you read the Twitter thread that started this, the councilwoman admits as much. There was an audit, and the city is supposed to trim trees every 5 years. The audit found that most are getting trimmed an average of every 18 years.
However…the timing here is no coincidence. They’re using the very legitimate issue of trees not getting trimmed in a timely fashion as cover for making the picket lines as uncomfortable as possible. NBCUniversal gets no pass here.
