The Worcester County Humane Society received a surprise during this year’s Ocean City budget deliberations – increased funding. The town typically appropriates $11,600 to the Humane Society. In addition, the town leases them a building for $1 dollar per year and picks up maintenance and utility expenses. For FY 2012, the Humane Society will receive a $15,000 appropriation.
Humane Society Executive Director Kenille Davies was gratified by the increase:
“It costs a lot of money here to keep going. We have to buy food and pay the vet bills. Every dollar helps us. The money from the city and from fundraisers are our only means of support,” she said. “We depend on donations to survive.”
Part of the increase may be used to purchase a surplused prisoner transport van from the Ocean City Police Department. The van would be used to transport animals.

ReplyDeleteYou would be mistaken. If you will note, there is a link to an article from Ocean City Today. The quote comes from that piece.
I was not stolen. It was not plagiarized. I am sorry that we ruined your day by pointing out your error. Of course, since you don't mind anonymously accusing someone, I believe that you will survive the humiliation.
