Knox County is auctioning off two Japanese Maples that have to be relocated from the forensic center. It is rather odd that the County Mayor would want to save or make money off two Japanese maples. The County Mayor has made public remarks about his fathers service in the war and why he was raised to not support the Japs.

While talking with some folks today, we discussed how funny it would be if someone bought them and then they cut them and chopped them up into a truck on site. It also begs the question with the City of Knoxville having an urban forester is the County Mayor emulating the City Mayor?
