The pathetic-looking tree was hustled out of the building Wednesday night.

The 18-foot Colorado blue spruce lost its needles and died after Statehouse workers dried it with commercial fans and sprayed it with a fire-retardant chemical. The workers were following the stringent new fire code enacted after a nightclub blaze in West Warwick three years ago killed 100 people.


Ouch.
