Start from this shocking piece about discrepancies in the experience and qualifications of the OC animal
shelter director:

substance
"We checked Schmidt’s claims against news outlets, organizational newsletters, and published
statistics. We found major discrepancies. "
Then look at the weird behavior of Monica Schmidt and Cymantha Atkinson:

are-turning-their-back-on-the-community/
What I’m curious about is the role of County Supervisor Katrina Foley.
Foley’s district is coastal Orange County. San Clemente, Dana Point, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach,
Irvine, they all have their own animal shelters.
Why is Foley so excited about foisting an unqualified director on the rest of the county?
Are we OK with this?
