It took months to shut this down and have the dogs seized <br />and given to pit bull organization to find homes for the puppies. This was <br />when we had an actual city manager that does not think he is the emperor. Jim <br />Nuse and Mayor Daniel worked tirelessly to keep these dogs safe from being <br />used as bait animals in fighting rings. Then, I contacted the land lord and that <br />man was evicted. I should have contacted her sooner. Well now this house is <br />an air b and b. What is the use of the city registering with the city if I cannot <br />find out who is yelling on the phone? Two months ago a very nice TxState <br />student who was quiet and polite and a good neighbor and also a soldier for <br />our great United States of America army had to go out of state to serve during <br />the pandemic. Months of serenity now he is gone because of the pandemic. The <br />land lord should have held the house for him out of patriotism and respect. <br />Instead the dollar dollar bills were her decision making calculus. Now I have a <br />trashy neighbor screaming on the phone and then acting like a lil Angel as he <br />gleefully bikes out of this back lot. I personally am tired of hearing men yell, <br />especially in my back yard, especially when he is not paying the high property <br />taxes I am, a direct result of this council refusing to place spending caps on the <br />City of San Marcos Page 1 <br />
