According to the Free Lace-Black Hole, Supervisor Emmitt Marshall (his district is next to mine) tried to intervene in an animal cruelty case involving the dogs of a son’s friend. Now, before everyone goes beating up Marshall (who is one of the four tax-hikers on the Spotsy BOS), let’s not forget that this is the Free Lance-Black Hole here. Moreover, these were apparently hunting dogs, so we can expect at least in part a rural-suburban division on the reaction within the county.
One part of the story, however, threw me (same link – the dog owner in question is named Jake Payne):
Payne could not be reached for comment at his Louisa home yesterday.
Louisa?!?!
Look, I know Emmitt is not my Supervisor, but I think he could use some advice: if you’re going to get involved in something like this, at least make sure it’s for a constituent.
