Re: Church of Scientology fined for felling healthy trees on event site
Excerpts:
Scientology/Co$ is opening a giant building.
Scientology/Co$ expects people to attend the opening of their giant building.
So they cut down trees...to accommodate a giant tent...for the invitees' use...at the opening of a giant building?
Erm, let 'em inside, no?
Regular housewarming: Hi, c'mon in! Glad you could make it! See what we've done with the place!
Scientology/Co$ housewarming: Hi, stay outside! Glad you bought place this but you don't own anything here! See the reg NOW!

Excerpts:
The city fined the church about $2,000 for the illegal tree cutting. The church paid the fine Monday.
"We have reimbursed the tree bank for the value of the trees, just like any other developer would do," Pat Harney, a church spokeswoman, wrote in an email.
"As far as trees go, the Church has a record of preserving old trees and fostering new growth," Harney wrote. "The Church even made the Guinness Book of World Records for relocating and preserving the largest live oak tree, at that time — 'Sam' — which is still alive and well in the front of the new Flag Building."
