To the editor:
July 1, 2016, the Hancock Commission refused to renew the Animal Shelter Operation contract with a nonprofit which had operated the county shelter for over 20 years.
They immediately requested a legal opinion from the W. Va. Attorney General’s Office regarding legal rights to a balance of over $360,000 in Animal Shelter Excess Levy funds raised on behalf of the nonprofit. In March 2017 the attorney general provided a legal opinion stating that neither the nonprofit nor the commission had a legal right to the accumulated funds. He recommended these funds be returned to county taxpayers and recommended the commission discuss how to return the funds with the State Auditor’s Office.
