When Levy Commissioners start providing care for the animals and the people then all will be good. until then i understand that nothing has been accomplished, whey doent commisioner sweeney stop writing on here and start a care program?

Commissioner Sweeney,

I for one think it's odd that you were having discussions with the director of Safe Haven for a couple of months. You state you were talking to her once issues started to arise with KCSPCA.

If it was to start negotiating for contract purposes, then the shock and awe of the Kent County Levy Court Commissioners was apparently a good act at the recent meeting. While I didn't believe that Levy Court commissioners were surprised that more funding was going to be asked for due to CAPA, since the KCSPCA went to the 3/8 meeting and discussed the additional costs,  I did find it amusing that commissioners acted as if 6/5 was the first time they were aware that more funds would be needed. It's a fact that if a stray is brought in with illness or broken limbs, the shelter is now required under CAPA to treat that animal during it's 5 day stray hold unless the animal is suffering extremely. It may not make sense to do surgery on a broken limb for an elderly animal when there are limited resources, but that's the law.

If your discussions with Safe Haven were on a consultation basis, then why would you go to a shelter that hasn't operated at full capacity yet, and has no experience in animal control? Was it because your entourage of lawbreakers (at large dogs, too many animals, etc) also support the divisive group No-Kill Delaware? It seems to me that you would go to someone already doing the same duties, like Delaware SPCA. And if you went to the Safe Haven director due to her past animal control experience, did you or Administrator Petit de Mange get a referral from local officials where she worked previously, or the Kentucky Animal Care & Control Board?

I only ask about that, because I would like to send in a FOIA request if that due diligence was done to make sure our animals are safe. If neither of your did that due diligence, then that speaks for itself and there is no point in wasting county staff time with a FOIA request. But then again, did any of the commissioners do any due dilligence on the matter.

If Reno and Austin are any indication of what's to come, this one time cost savings is going to cost taxpayers a bundle down the road.

so who is going to drive me to safe haven if my dog gets loose?  i dont have wheels to get me all the way there.  my taxes should help me right here in dover not in georgetown. levy court should be thrown in jail for incompeties, unlawful talks, and just plain dumb business.

TESTING!!! 1-2-3 TEASTING!!!
