Under the Maple Tree
Franklin Tennessee - BVD News , there's a 200 year old tree in Franklin , standing in the way of progressive taxation in a village called Montgomery Place.
BVD : So what happens now ?
Nameless Franklin Alderman : If we lived in an ideal world , people would not want to live in Franklin. This tree is blocking progress and future tax dollars.
BVD : Butt Franklin has been named a Tree City by the Arbor Society. What does that say for this city ?
NFA : Any city can get specific recognition by paying the right person. Besides , Franklin has planted lots of little trees , while destroying the mature trees.
BVD : Butt why ?
NFA : They were in the way. Besides , tax dollars are not determined by trees. Also , remember , trees are a renewable green source.
BVD : This conversation seems a little stupid.
NFA : I agree. By the way , you are standing in the way of these Mexican workers with chain saws. I'll tell you what Franklin can do just so we all can sleep better tonight , we'll name a street after it. Do you have any suggestions ?
WSMV and the local Franklin paper have reported this story.
