FAIRFIELD, CT — The four cherry trees that once stood in the center of town have been gone for weeks, but the debate over their removal shows no sign of stopping.
Attorneys met Tuesday with Judge Barry Stevens to discuss a legal complaint challenging the town's decision to allow the Kwanzan cherry trees to be removed and requesting an injunction to save them. Now that the trees are down, plaintiffs James Hughes and Alyssa Israel intend to pursue sanctions, fines and monetary damages. The town has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.
