text: well, John,  that would be me. Jeanne Olson, running as an independent for House District 3. Ironically, i have seen this particular issue  from the animal abuse perspective. I worked for the FNSB Animal Control for 3 years and have been involved in animal rescue/abuse cases as a veterinarian for 28  years.  I had 3 cases of clear animal abuse that i couldn't get the legal system to process. Kids and Animals have the same plight...some are ignored and some are publicized unnecessarily. Yup, indeed, there are way more than two sides to a story. Sorting out the facts from 5 to 10 or more witnesses takes time, patience and diligence. Often, time is the deciding factor.  Having been in the trenches with the animal cases, i can assure you that it cuts into the deepest part of your soul,  to the very core, every time. Animals and kids....they are our voiceless and we need to do better. Stop throwing stones out there and let's work together to figure it out.
