Addison Court resident John Harris standing with his beloved trees. Town and Gown columnist Nadine Kofman, in the course of performing her reportorial duties, learned of a contract Catherine Dauler awarded to a landscape architect. Nadine told John Harris about the contract. When John learned the architect planned to cut down the trees, John wrote and called the architect who treated him rudely. When a John mentioned his concern to Dauler, she reportedly said, “You should have told me about this four months ago. This is already in the works. My staff would never forgive me if I put a hault to this now.”

Anyone who ordered this done is not fit to be our mayor.
