Blocking with misinformation with red herrings, with arguments that dont add up, arguments that arent consistent with the work that the puc staff has made and that the puc commissions have approved in the past. The puc commissioners say they would not support a shell contract moving forward, but they already have. And, so, i just think its important to be able to point that out. I how we move forward in the program when the politics are getting in the way, i think calling out the politics when you see them happening is one way to start moving forward and thats what ive done. Im trying to do to...

Animals in need. In addition, the department has very few enforcement officers who are able to go out into the field. Whether to respond to claims of mistreatment or neglected animals or to deal with potentially aggressive animals.
