Theft at the Colbert County Animal Shelter?

The next few days, we'll be concentrating on problems at the Colbert County animal shelter. What are some of the questions? Here's Mr. Ed Bowman's take (Mr. Bowman publishes the page Colbert County Corruption):



WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING Shoalanda Speaks? Is there a reason you’re not asking these questions?

Questions like 

*Why has their (sic) not been a balanced budget since 2015. A detailed budget! Not a summary budget?

*Why, when asked by elected officials, has a budget been denied by the Colbert County Animal Shelter & Board Members?

*Can the Animal Shelter & Board Members justify asking for more money from the taxpayers, when the animal shelter receives (total from the cities in Colbert County) $360,000 and another $140,000 in donations/other sources?

*What did the Colbert County Animal Shelter & Board Members do to lose a very generous donation (on a regular basis) of dog and cat food from Sunshine Mills. Inc?
A source tells me the dog and cat food wasn’t making it back to the shelter.
That in it self brings up concerning questions. Has anyone asked these questions?

Shoalanda Speaks- instead of blaming Commissioner Tommy Barnes, why not go to Anthony Wilbanks first and demand, under the Sunshine law, a copy of the budget? A DETAILED BUDGET!


You will notice that we have already answered one of these questions. Sunshine Mills tells us that the donations to the shelter were stopped not because of theft, but due to the gifts not being tax deductible. Business is business.

We'll also note that Mr. Wilbanks is the animal control officer, not the director of the shelter. He does not make the budget, nor does he handle business requests of the shelter. 

If you have additional questions, please send them now. In the meantime, here's a point for you to ponder: How would you like your paycheck to be dependent on donations? In other words, if donations come in, you get paid. If donations don't arrive, you don't eat or pay your bills. Does that sound reasonable to anyone out there? How about it, Tommy Barnes? Is that how it works at your house?
