When it got back to my director, via Debra, I was told I had to put up with it. I verbally resisted that direction. Well, it wasn't long before I was forced out of my position with that bullying covert retaliation. The only reason I still have a job is because I'm not an at-will employee.

This was about 6 months ago. Apparently this all started with the confrontation between Denise Wilcox and Marty's PR (spinster) person Debroah James who I would bet you any amount of money that she is an animal horder (cats).<BR/><BR/>I guess Deborah James did'nt approve of the way certian things were being done at animal control and confronted Denise Wilcox (of course in her extremely rude and condesecending way), It's my understanding that Denise set Deborah straight and told her that she did'nt run animal control. Well about 3 weeks later Denise was reassigned to the assisant director position at municipal developmant. When Denise was in charge the numbers may of been a little exaggerated but they had more validity then the ones their putting out now. <BR/>I could guarantee you that Jeanene Patterson,Dr. John Romero,Tom Sullavan and Jim Ludwig have taken the recipe from the scam-era cookbook, added a little more BS and are now serving it to the public. <BR/>We know that politicians lie, but the Chavez administration has also added criminal activity along with no accountability to the public and have attained a free pass from the City Council and the media.<BR/><BR/>Albuquerque we are allowing ourselves to be lead down a path of destruction...

I’m not going to debate whether the mayor is the root of all evil and should get a third term or whether Jim Ludwig is the mouthpiece of the evil empire–I don’t believe that’s the case–at least most days. However, a couple of things need to be said about Watermelon Mountain Ranch’s Home 4 the Holidays Adopt-a-thon that tool place the weekend before Christmas. <BR/>But before I go on, let’s get the disclosure part out of the way. My name is Mike Davis; I’m the development and communications director for Watermelon Mountain Ranch and I’m quoted in the above blog. I was also a reporter with the Albuquerque Journal. I have never worked for the city or the mayor. Furthermore, I pitched those stories about the event to the Journal, not Jim Ludwig. <BR/>The organizations that participated in the event found homes for more than 500 cats and dogs–no small feat when you consider that the average weekend event, according the folks at PetSmart charities who track such things, might see 200 pets go out the door. We emptied our kennels at Watermelon Mountain Ranch–227 pets have new homes. The city shelters did about the same. Rio Rancho Animal control went home empty as did the McKinley County shelter and numerous breed-specific animal rescue organizations. This event was the most successful large-scale, state- wide shelter collaboration to date and will be followed by several others throughout the New Year. <BR/>As to the city shelters not having anymore adoptable pets at the end of the event–that was absolutely true. The animals that were left were either being held as per city laws and regulations so that the animal’s owners could reclaim them, or they had to undergo spay or neuter operations. Were animals in there? Yes. Were they adoptable? No. Will they find homes before they are euthanized? We hope so and are working with a network of shelters throughout the country to make that happen. It’s not easy, but it’s a goal worth working towards. <BR/>How much of the city’s success can be attributed to the new director Jeanine Patterson, or to Jim Ludwig in his new position? I can’t say for sure, as I don’t work for them or have access to the day-to-day operations of the city shelters. But I can tell you this: for the first time in the history of the city shelters, the administration has actively worked to collaborate with the large nonprofit and other municipal shelters throughout the state, and the thousands of abused, injured, abandoned and unwanted companion animals we deal with on a daily basis are benefiting as they never have before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-60594427493154563812008-01-15T10:32:00.000-07:002008-01-15T10:32:00.000-07:00the sentenced poor marion jones for lying why not ...the sentenced poor marion jones for lying why not the little mexi-melt chavez and his criminal crew?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-14979266108266298262008-01-15T08:14:00.000-07:002008-01-15T08:14:00.000-07:00I note that the environmental director who made up...I note that the environmental director who made up clean air numbers, who happens to be a close personal friend of Marty's, was not fired.

There are many problems with it.<BR/><BR/>- It voids the warranty on new vehicles.<BR/>- It's been clogging the fuel filters. What happens is the vehicle shuts down while driving. That includes trucks that respond to emergencies.<BR/>- Trucks enroute at high speeds, that shut down, could cause severe injury or death to the occupants. Not to mention the citizens that called 911 for their emergency. <BR/>- Employees are no longer aloud to fuel at contracted fueling stations. This means more drive time, mileage and polution (global warming), to get fuel.<BR/><BR/>Several months ago the media had a story about it. The city made a futile effort to please them and make them go away. The city pumped the tanks. They were suppose to scrub them and put in a better bio diesel. Not all of that was done. It's a shame thousands of $ worth of fleet is being ruined because of Marty's political agenda.<BR/><BR/>How cute that "green" campaign is. What he needs to do is visit a country, like Spain or Germany, to see what "green" really means. It's not new in those countries they've been "green" for decades.

Wonder who bought stock in that company before the ordiance was put into place, just like the bluetooth??? <BR/><BR/>Recent studies show those implants can cause tumors in dogs. I believe that's why one of my dogs died from a massive brain tumor within 2 years of the implant. I'm now reluctant for one of my pups to have it inserted. She wouldn't leave the yard anyway even with the gate wide open. So now I don't want to take her to the vet for her shot because I'll be forced to have her implanted. Does anyone know if I can refuse it without being fined?<BR/><BR/>This whole animal thing is a joke. It holds only the responsible pet owners accountable.
