Highway Project Trees Removed- Because They Block A Billboard
Dozens of palm trees recently planted as part of a construction project in Miami have just been un-
planted (yes, I know that's not a word)- because they blocked a billboard. And one that may be illegal, at that. And the Florida Department of Transportation said that's okay. In fact, it was their idea to dig the trees back up again. What??
Here's the story from the Miami Herald.
