Ya that's pretty sad. And the City maintained their contract even after uncovering the fraud? I think this isn't the first time I've seen city/ county funds taken by fraudulent contractors. Meanwhile they ended the contract with Friends of Trees?

It doesn't exactly leave me with warm fuzzy feelings. We need some serious reviews into how we vet these orgs.
