School board candidates' debate
NEW: LaFollette City Administrator Stan Foust sent a response to the LaFollette Press this afternoon regarding the animal control allegations. Foust said, "The mayor and I have reviewed the allegations from Mrs. Siwinski regarding the city of LaFollette’s Animal Control Officer Mr. Dople. We feel that Mr. Dople did just exactly what he was hired to do is to take any stray or unwanted animal to our county shelter. Upon arrival at that shelter, he has fulfilled his obligation. Failure to accept the animal in question is not animal control's problem. It is a failure of the shelter. We look forward to working with the county mayor and commission on improving its operations."
