Spay/Neuter Law Would Save Money

Dear Editor,
    If the City Council had passed the spay/neuter ordinance put in front of them four years ago by the Austin Animal Advisory Commission, they wouldn't have to rob $1 million from next year's revenue to cover the costs of all those adoptions and other programs. They are now covering their rear ends by taking tax dollars that should be going to programs for our neighborhoods, children, education, health care, homelessness, and public safety and instead spending that money to fund adoptions for all the cats and dogs that were born as a direct result of their inaction. They didn't do their jobs, and the taxpayers foot the bill. They can dress it up any way they want but that is the "no-kill resolution" in a nutshell.
