    • 2014 July 3, Anfrage der Grünen an den Bürgermeister zu Graz‎:
      Damals hatten Sie und die Firma Spar zugesagt, dass alles getan werde, um zumindest die Pappel, den Götterbaum und die Dirndl auf der Ostseite der Baufläche zu erhalten. Die Realität sieht leider anders aus: Zwar wurde der Dirndl-Baum verpflanzt, die beiden anderen Bäume wurden leider mittlerweile gefällt. […] Da der Dirndlbaum ja weiter besteht, sind also zumindest zwei weitere Ersatzpflanzungen bis dato nicht erfolgt!
      Back in the day you man and the Spar company agreed that everything should be done to at least preserve the poplar, the tree of heaven and the cornel on the eastern side of the building ground. Reality looks different: For indeed the cornel was transplanted, the other two trees were felled. […] As the cornel is still standing, two replacement plantings have not yet succeeded!
