Do you really think the council said, "WTF, just use the cheapest wood possible!"???
Here's Asburypark.net's reporting of this issue in February '01. (before Fishman, when the ONLY thing happening was the holes in the boardwalk): http://asburypark.net/news/2001/02/index.html One funny quote: "Kenneth M. Brady, one of the city residents who joined in the suit, said that the use of less-expensive southern yellow pine -- as originally proposed by city engineers -- would allow the timely replacement of a larger section of the boardwalk. Brady said that by the time the softer wood had to be replaced, the city would be in a better position, financially and otherwise, to explore acceptable alternatives." Is he ready to admit he was wrong yet? --- In [email protected], "dfsavgny" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As to blaming tree huggers.
