Duke changes tree-trimming policies
CINCINNATI, OHIO - Duke Energy has responded to complaints from neighbors on Cincinnati's West side.
In a series of meetings with leaders in both Green and Miami townships, the company agreed to stop clear-cutting trees underneath its major power lines.

Duke Energy says its new policy also applies in Anderson Township.
Homeowners in Green Township were invited to review the new plan recently at the town hall.
