Breaking News - IMHS Criminal Investigation of Stolen Money

Going forward, Intermountain Humane Society will, as always, continue our efforts to provide a safe and healthy environment for our animals. It is well recognized, however, that even the best practices by the most experienced staff in state-of-the-art facilities cannot completely prevent such unfortunate situations as we have just come through.

Thank you for your support, patience and understanding during this difficult time.

Perhaps this part of a post in that thread may help you Hoot Owl. I found it pretty quickly.

Good job 285bound and making a video available to the public on this issue.
So many more people have an opportunity to know what is going on in the community with that kind of resource. Thank you.

I am saddened but not surprised by the comments that prompted you to write such an eloquent response on PC. (Though I was frustrated by the fact that as a banned member of PC, I was unable to read the links that you took the time to research for the post) So much for community service by PC.

I suppose the different mindset here of public information and an ability to discuss it openly and freely here is a concept that will NEVER be understood by a handful of folks there who have controlled the flow of information to the community for quite some time.

I am neither pro or con on the new board. I have had some personal interaction with some of the board in the past.....Some of that was positive in my favor and some was rightful criticism of positions I have taken in regards to how PC has been run in the past. I do know this.....I hold the current President of IMHS in very high regard as he is a man of principals who is not afraid to stand behind what he believes. (Just a personal observation, from years of dialogue on PC.)

That's probably why the "breaking news"...if you want to call it that...is there and not here.

I found that comment curious when I read it last night. I did not know at that time that the poster was a former VP of IMHS.
Perhaps it really wasn't breaking news to that individual. My question to this poster. As the former VP of IMHS......Why wouldn't you think that almost $22,000 in unaccounted for funds would NOT be important or breaking news.
The great thing about "discussion" forums is that Bailey Guns, as the former VP could have chosen to bring forth an explanation of where almost $22,000 dollars actually is but instead chose to shoot the messenger.

Reading through all these threads last night and today.....I am irritated at some of the expectations that a few folks have about an information flow that they feel is not fast enough for them.
The new board at IMHS has had a lot to contend with in the last few months. I am miffed at the notion that they should somehow stop caring for animals, family and their careers to meet the informational needs of a couple of people in the community who obviously didn't feel that getting that information first hand was important enough to attend a meeting. Other things were far more important in their lives, yet they go to a discussion forum and complain anyway.

As to the notion of board wars.........
This really isn't about which website is better. For me....it is about whether or not information should flow freely and be openly discussed without anyone inserting a particular bias simply because they hold a position of power enabling them to do so.
In order to address the community as a whole.....all voices should be heard. All information should be presented so that the we can come to rational conclusions about what is really happening in our community.

I thank 285bound.com for the opportunity to openly discuss all issues without bias along the 285 corridor.

Did I miss it on Pinecam? I don't see anything over there referring to what's going on now. Weird!

saying stolen means concrete evidence of theft. Is that the case? The title of this thread implies the police are involved. I do not see that anywhere.

I know that they had a few folks come and work on the books that did not seem to know about accounting rules. Could it simply be that the funds were accounted for in the wrong accounts?

The copy of the letter from the attorney and the video at the beginning spell out an on-going investigation including criminal misconduct.

I see a letter written by current board president, not any statement from a law enforcement agency involved in a "criminal investigation". I am just pointing out that jumping to conclusions and starting a smear campaign on individuals is just plain wrong and I think we, the community, are bigger than that. Show me proof and and guilty vote by a jury and I'll believe the "stolen" accusations. Until then, in my world, the money is unaccounted for and as I stated in my post, I know that they had some less than qualified people doing the books along with some that knew what they were doing.

You can't actually think that the board is going to release a letter that contains misinformation about there being a criminal investigation. Nitpicking the smallest details drives conversations off course - OF COURSE there is a criminal investigation. As there should be - and I, personally, hope they throw the book at the Director. She is a horrible person.
