Name Only? | 8:43 p.m. July 14, 2008
How about proding a little bit on background on the person...I guess the title is to be taken literally in name only.
Budget cuts? | 10:58 p.m. July 14, 2008
The County has not looked to the future to see what has come to pass in other states as the housing crises ripens. With families being tossed out of their homes due to the lending desaster (recently reported 1 out of 600 homeowners in Utah) risking foreclousres, and most of the apartments in Salt Lake County do not allow pets, and those who do require substantial pet deposits, pets will be dropped of to shelters. With some people performing illegal evictions by locking homeowners out of their homes and seizing pets (sometimes with a judge's signature on an immediate occupancy order without the proper court procedeedings), the pets are removed from the home without the occupant present. Certainly the County can obtain judgments against these homeowners who are already in financial urgency with trying to gather apartment deposits and first months rent which can add up to over $3,500 in addition to moving and storage costs. The Animal Shelter's budget will need quick re-evaluation.
