During the horrible months where Palmetto Bay saw over 30 cats were mutilated and killed, a group of concerned citizens from Palmetto Bay and other areas of Miami- Dade County tried to launch a public awareness campaign for all companion animals. Mayor Flinn made personal phone calls to me, demanding that we cease and desist our efforts to educate the public and claimed that by alerting the media, we had caused the deaths of more felines. He used his office to call a private citizen to demand that we not be allowed to use a privately-owner building for meetings and ordered his police officers not to attend. He went so far as to use his office as mayor to call the Chief of Police of Miami-Dade County to dissuade his officers on the task force not to participate. We asked that Mr. Flinn send out a one page flyer to all the residents to give them safety tips for their cats; we offered to pay for the printing and mailing of this flyer, yet he refuses. I do not believe that Mr. Flinn is qualified to represent Florida House District 117 and informed voters will look to Lisa Lesperance would be the best choice for this seat. Sincerely, Pamela A.
