An idea whose time has come, and one I wholeheartedly support
There is to be a proposed meeting this week at Crestwood Courts (date and time unknown as of this writing,) of the Crestwood animal control volunteers to plan fund raisers to keep the animal control shelter running.
We all know that the City can no longer afford to maintain the animal control department due to the needed cut backs, and the fact that it is duplicated by St. Louis County.
This is exactly the type of "grass roots" thinking that has pulled America through more that one crisis in her history, and this is no different!
I can only applaud the volunteers on this outstanding idea, and I will be one of the first to donate to their coffers! I know this effort will require a rather large sum of money every year to pay heat, light, salaries, and supplies, but given the willingness to work very hard by the volunteers, I think they can pull it off!
In closing please know that I am all for the success of this group and I wish them God Speed in their endeavors, yet at the same time I must reinforce my opposition to City funds being used at all. That said "may success follow their flag!"
(Please contact the animal control officer, or a volunteer for the date and time of the meeting.)

Anyone going to a Tea Party this week?
Do we have a report on the "animal control" meeting held last week?

No report on the proposed meeting of the Animal control volunteers?
I guess it was a good idea with no responders, oh well, nice try Ladies, but I am afraid we will have to close it now, we need the revenue.

Close the Sappington House, as well. Let St. Louis County take it over. It, is a draw on the community with little redeeming value. But, this is just one man's opinion. It is another one of those "priority" issues. If the city falls, the Sappington House still stands albeit unaffordable. Code and Animal should have been made part time long ago. Reality check...
As for the tea party thingy ... I cannot believe there are Americans so pathetically stupid as to consider this in the least relevant to anything. Where were these pathetics and their signs about the illegal war and torture and gas prices, etc. etc. etc. etc. ???
