Your Honorable Mayor Tom Martin, Lady and Gentlemen of the Lubbock City Council,

I regret not being able to be present to express my opinion in regard of the new proposed animal shelter or dog pound as its most often called by everyday people of the City of Lubbock.



I feel that our District Leaders (District 1-Linda DeLeon & District 2-Floyd Price) did not give us the chance to express our opinion on whether we wanted the dog pound or not. It just seems that our own district leaders do not seem to ask us for our opinion. Both Mrs. Linda DeLeon (Dist. 1) and Mr. Floyd Price (Dist. 2) led an all media effort for the opposition of the placement of the DOG POUND in K.N. Clapp Park. But when it came down to putting it in our kids playground the stayed quite because they did not think that we will not say a word.

Well not this time...WE WILL NOT STAY QUITE!!!

I wish that they would treat their districts the same overall. They seem to think that some areas are more valuable or more favorable than others, when they came out of those same areas. We are tired of being treated as the last resort. The area or part of town that people think that since its on the North or East part of town then we don’t care. Well your wrong...We Do Care!!! We care how are neighborhoods look or how other people in Lubbock see our neighborhoods. We are not the dumping grounds that people seem to see us or think about us, But what it does seems like...is that even our own District leaders think that.

Another District leader seems to think the same...Mr. Todd Klein (Dist 3) seems to think that he knows what we want in our district. During a City Council meeting he stated and I quote...”site was not perfect, but was the best option. “at the end of the day, I believe people will be happy with it,”. Well...again he is wrong!!! We are not happy!!!



We want a chance to give our opinion or other options.

One option we can use is the same option the our great leaders of District 1 and District 2 used to just pull the rug from under a profitable business, spend over 1.2 million dollars and just say we need it for city ...
