From Tom Goudreault, a friend of Jeff's on Facebook:

"HELP SAVE JEFF'S TREE!
An older gentleman named Jeff planted a tree 19 years ago and has decorated it every year since, during the holiday season for everyone to enjoy by the on ramp to 395 in Uncasville. It's Beautiful. Jeff recently decorated his tree to celebrate essential workers.
Well friends, one individual has complained to the town/state and said the new decorations were offensive. Now I hear from Jeff that either he has to REMOVE the decorations or the STATE is going to CUT IT DOWN!!!!! This is a SHAME!!!!! Please help Jeff and I keep this tree proud and intact as it stands and is decorated, respecting our local fire and police departments and all essential workers."
