What kind of story is this?

Just seems like a good use of resources to me GBP and I usually agree with you. What would you have suggested? Laying off the workers until spring when there was plenty of work that needed to be done? Taking care of city trees doesn’t seem like a ‘make work’ project to me.

I hope you don’t complain about potholes GBP.
