As in past, Memphis city leaders are hiding from the public. The next shelter advisory board meeting open to the public was scheduled for this coming Wednesday, September 12. In light of the outcry over the former MAS workers’ animal torture confessions in court yesterday, the city and the advisory board are once again shutting out taxpayers and have cancelled the open meeting.
Supposedly, the city will open the October 10 meeting to the public, assuming they don’t chicken out before then. I guess they figure all you annoying pet advocates will have forgotten about the cruelty, lies and shame by that time.
If you are in Memphis, don’t stand for this. Organize your own public meeting next Wednesday. Hold it at the mayor’s office or on the street in front of city hall. Do something.
