I don't understand the salt ban in Colorado.

Kills roadside trees.

Kills roadside trees.

You mean the trees that kill people that stray off the road? The same trees whose roots clog the drainage pipes in ditches so that roads flood in heavy rains? The same trees that grow up into the electrical transmission wires and fall down in freezing rain or blow down in high winds taking the wires with them and blocking streets? In my world there would be a 100 foot buffer where no trees were allowed around any major arterial road. No tree would be allowed to grow into powerlines either. I wish all of the tree huggers had gone and chained themselves to their tree of choice during that windstorm we had here in Oregon last week.

"I don't understand the salt ban in Colorado."

"Kills roadside trees."

It also gives environmentalists hissyfits just imagining a salt particle getting into a stream somewhere.
