Letter: Landscaping around cell tower is dead again

Tri-City Herald

Two years ago, I submitted a letter complaining about the dead landscaping around our new 150-foot neighborhood cell tower, because there was no irrigation system provided.

Well, somebody actually came back last summer and put in all new landscaping (at about $5,000) and a drip system. Of course, without a source for water, all the new landscaping is now deceased again.

Is somebody actually running this program, or is it a typical government waste of public money because they think our neighborhood is too stupid to notice?
