This past week we learned the Animal Foundation was given the impression, apparently some time ago, they would be receiving $1.5 million from the city.
I attended a public meeting this week where Commissioner Bronson indicated that, during recent budget hearings, the requests of various city departments for FY 2008-2009 have exceeded the funds available by $1.8 million. According to Mr. Bronson, these were frugal requests.

I don't think the Animal Foundation is going to get it.

"No New Taxes" until our city leadership shows fiscal responsibility and rescinds the 1.4 million gift box to SME, for starters!
I concur.
The 'fur' will fly now!
Does anyone really believe the resolution will not pass? With the exception of one (Mary) and perhaps (?????) Bronson, the fix is in as far as the $1.5 million for the shelter.
The "understanding" between AF and the city evidently goes back a long time - 6 years. Now perhaps people will see the REAL reason for the city take over of the animal shelter last year. Coincidence - I think not.
