High Finance Stalls Anti Fungus Program
Rolling Meadows city council weighs funding for a triple spraying program to combat anthracnose in sycamore trees. Aldermen debate costs, with one proposing $250 in tanks and equipment, while official funds from tax sources are slow to arrive. Time is short, as spraying must start before buds break in early April, prompting a potential last chance at council action next Tuesday.
