Fox News
Amelia Bond and her husband have paid $1.5 million to Lisa Gorman and thousands to the state of Maine after poisoning their neighbor's oak trees to secure an unobscured ocean view.
Neighbor Amelia Bond, former CEO of St. Louis Foundation, then offered to split the cost to remove the dying trees from the front of the Camden home in 2022, according to legal documents reviewed by the AP. This gave Bond an unobstructed view of Penobscot Bay, an idyllic harbor filled with lobster boats, yachts and schooners. Christina Coulter is a U.S. and World reporter for Fox News Digital.

The destruction didn't stop at the Gorman property. Herbicide Tebuthiuron spread next door to the town's only public seaside beach, prompting a legal investigation. Residents were seen walking their dogs just 500 feet away from the soil where the herbicide, lethal to aquatic plants, was detected, according to the AP.
