You assume wrong. And that's the point of new commissioners! As it stands now, the vote is ALWAYS 5 to 0 and NEVER in the interest of The Villagers. I don't know if you noticed but the incumbents are now running as a block as well. So there is that.
As to the shelter. We are the only County Shelter in Florida that doesn't allow volunteers. Why? If we had volunteers it would save the county a ton of money. People have offered to help in the meetings. We could save more animals and get them back home with volunteers. But then if we had volunteers we would have known about the dog that was recently left in the truck to die with the heat on. We asked for those records from the county three times before we got them all. The first time they said there were NO records. We let them know we KNEW and they started feeding us the records a little at a time. Oh... and a supervisor had to resign or be fired because she refused to sweep it under the rug. Yes! I have the documents to prove all of this.
Or the little dog that fell out of the truck and they denied picking up the dog until it came out there was a camera outside the house that recorded the whole event. They got lucky and the dog was found later.
Or the five dogs that were killed with their surgical collars on one even had an adopter on the way to pick her up. the person who had to kill them had just been promoted and quit because it affected her so much. (Yes, I have the text from her )
We need Shelter Reform at our county shelter. It would save us money and save our pets.
Have you seen the videos I posted in here of how the commissioners treat the residents?
Again, you know who I am, who are you? A commissioner? A developer?
It's time we take our county back Roll back the 25% Tax increase and vote for commissioners who care about US!
