Maine Couple Accused of Poisoning Trees for View

A dispute between two wealthy Maine families has escalated as accusations surface that one family poisoned the other's trees to improve their ocean view, leading to environmental damage to a public beach. Lisa Gorman, wife of the late LL Bean president, alleges that her neighbor, Amelia Bond, applied herbicide to her oak trees without consent, resulting in the destruction of the trees and contamination of the beach. Bond and her husband have paid fines and compensation, with the state attorney general investigating the incident. Local residents are outraged, calling for harsher penalties and potential criminal prosecution for the accused couple.
