Church fined $4,000 for 'excessive tree pruning'

No bullshit. This is not The Onion and this is not satire. This is an actual news piece...

Every two to three years, Eddie Sales trims and prunes the crape myrtles at his church, Albemarle Road Presbyterian Church.


But this year, the city of Charlotte cited the church for improperly pruning its trees.


"We always keep our trees trimmed back because you don't want to worry about them hanging down in the way," said Sales, a church member.


The church was fined $100 per branch cut for excessive pruning, bringing the violation to $4,000.
