50 dogs and so many of the owners coming up to me and saying you know, i just got this dog or puppy and it was ready to be put to sleep and there was only 3 months ago i heard this over and over again so having some additional funding having to provide staffing for the animals is important. the i am very disappointed there was no funding to provide for the early addition education piece there is no or there's so many families waiting on the waiting list for us not to put anything in there was

disappointing, however, once we've passed the children's fund for the families first initiative in november i'm hoping we can catch up with some of the needs. it was a very regarding for me to see not only the mayors budget but pedestrian safety funding for pedestrian safety issues was added back into many the district this year. so unlike last year there was some funding for pedestrian safety and probably i think it was the only district added back, in fact, this year 50 percent was centered around pedestrian safety. i'm so happy that many of the supervisors are taken care of
