Tari Moore, who had a private interview with the Cecil Whig stated she would get to the bottom of the incident in the parking lot. … Moore has not followed up on that promise. She has not asked to speak to anyone involved including adult witnesses who heard the comments. By “muzzling” the Animal Control Oversight she has taken away the right of citizens of this county to express their concerns about AB4L. What she has done is protected AB4L from further blunders in public which effectively took away our First Amendment Rights to Free Speech by reporting to the Oversight Committee and in a public forum for record. Our questions were getting too hard to answer because if our County Government answered them honestly they would have to admit that they made a huge mistake by not severing the contract in 2013 when residents who volunteered there were “fired” by the Buddies because the county was getting too many comolaints about the cat room [conditions]…

…The 2013 990 EZ [Internal Revenue Service] report by the Buddies says it all. Litteral, who’s exact duties are not written anywhere, took home $55,000 dollars in salary. She is not supposed to be paid by the county’s monthly $60,000, that was only to be used for the care of any county 8 day stray hold [animals.]. That’s it. Nothing else. But they use the money to fund their rescue [and] on that same report there is a statistic that is extremely nauseating and disturbing. They spent $10,000 on animal expenses.

I would not hold my breath waiting to hear about Moores latest investigation. She has yet to call anyone involved to speak to them about what happened in the parking lot. To put it bluntly my fellow Cecil County residents, Moore and company have done everything in their power to protect the Buddies who reside in Delaware. She has not taken one measure to be the voice and protect the people who reside here in Cecil County. That is a fact backed up by many email exchanges kept for the record.
