[Trees-executive] Re: 1776

[Mary C. Schlembach]

So can we put together an agenda of topics for tonight:

House Bill 1776
Mortatorium
Arbor Day
etc.

The other thing I thought of the other day was to get an underground cable
supplier to talk to us and possibly the cities.  I know there is one in the
Chicago suburbs, and they could provide us some real numbers on testing,
life (something longer than 21 years please for Mr. Millburg), trenching
requirements that IP simply wouldn't want to supply or may not do
"honestly".  If you are interested in this, let me know and I'll try to find
some other suppliers to talk to.
