"Animal Controll, which is overseen by the Shiawassee County Sheriff Department, hopes to compensate for the loss of revenue by instituting kennel inspection fees."They acknowledge their license fee violates state law.
They lower it to comply with state law.
Then they add an 'annual' inspection with fee that violates state law.
Makes perfect sense...this is Shiawassee County.
At the time this "dog law of 1919" went into effect, dog licenses were very low $2 & $4, if that.
The kennel license was considerably higher and that was designed to cover the cost of inspection.
At least I heard that somewhere, but I don't have anything to back it up. There should be something in the 'notes' taken during the deliberation process. That would take some digging and probably a trip to Lansing.
