If there is nothing to hide about the Buddy for Life group, or any other group, why would Mrs. Moore try to stop the “advisory board” from asking for the expertise of a vet? Does she think her current “Buddies” have something to hide and she does not want someone with the medical background to look at them? This smells like a pile of dog poop.

Oh, thats right. Since most residents are not aware of the atrocities by the Buddies and what the current regs are, I can see Moore and company trying to state these are “minor changes.” …[For]Moore, Wein, Allison, et al these changes will effectively alleviate these officials of hearing from citizens how badly they have handled animal control and enforcement of the county contract. Allison, as usual, gave an excuse for dealing with the Buddies and reducing the stray hold now. The county can simply look at the number if stray holds, multiple by the redemption fees and simply pay the Buddies the exact amount of money they should have been getting all along.

I have akways questioned the amount of money budgeted for animal control to begin with. If they truly meant to enforce the contract, why would it be necessary to pay them $60,000 per month? That is a lot of stray holds that were to have been estimated per month, don’t you think?

How ironic the phrase”financial expertise” was used when the citizens of this county have endured three deficit budgets in a row now.
