Where Are There Downed, Leaning Trees?

While many trees knocked down by Sandy were removed, many remain. Let us know where.

In the immediate aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, toppled trees blocked roadways, tore out wires, crushed cars and even damaged homes in the Smithtown area. In the weeks that followed, tree removal companies and the town's highway department worked around the clock to clear the area.

But the sheer number of downed trees has left many felled, cracked or leaning trees untouched in town, many in places where they are not in danger of causing property damage.

We'd like to know where these are. We've posted a picture above taken of a large tree next to the St. James Lutheran Church as an example.

Let us know about other trees in the comment box below. And if you can, take photo and upload it to gallery above by hitting the big "Contribute" button. Add the location in the caption and we'll use these to create a map.

Tomorrow is the vote..vote NO NOW or our taxes are going to continue to sky rocket. Unless we doRead More something this town will continue to spiral down. More taxes aren't going to help. We need to cut expenses and get ourselves on a fiscally responsible plan.

Isn't that above the cap? Funny, when another news source mentioned 5 districts that are breakingRead More the cap they didn't mention Smithtown. Dn't worry, the district will bully and scare the parents into voting yes by threatening programs instead of doing what they need to do which is reduce administrative costs.

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be madeRead More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
