It was just announced that KCAC and the Humane society are NOT taking animals for a while. (I just found out KCAC will go out on calls) Over 3500 animals were turned over to these organizations. There is NO money in the budget to KCAC to keep it running. SO now what are people going to with the animals they can NOT keep. I can't get kittens that I have had over 5 months adopted. What people are going to do it let the run loose in the street or just keep the tied to a dog house and god willing someone notice and THEN KCAC will come out and take the dogs. REALLY this is a solution? And YET we can build a tunnel and possibly raise taxes on electric bills, license tabs and even a TOLL? We as a people aren't willing to pay an extra .01 in dog/cat food taxes to help with a spay/neuter bill?
Domestic abuse shelters are also getting hit. Where are those women children and even animals going to go. So when the women gets put in the hospital we pay the bill and yet if she had some place safe to stay/go we WOULDN'T have a hospital bill to pay.
I have no problem paying taxes if my money is being used properly. I would be happy to pay higher taxes to keep domestic abuse shelters opened and kcac, health centers, schools, higher pay for teachers, NOT PAYING for a tunnel.
