And District Attorney Katz, I just want you to know that your DV program will be funded again this year for $72,500 And your forensic lab, Bob, Vicki and myself will bring that to the delegation.

Melinda Katz

And just so everybody knows about the animals, so it's in the agricultural law.
7:03:45
And so the only, the highest form of accountability is really two years.
7:03:50
So you could torture animals.
7:03:52
You could, you know, torture your cat or dog and then have not the accountability that I think you really should have in our courts.
7:04:01
And so we've been working with the council members on those issues as well in the community.
7:04:06
So thank you.

And I can just add to that.
7:04:08
So as part of the state DA's association, I'm honored to be the president of now, but we advocate for increasing the penalties for those heinous crimes every year.
7:04:19
So when you're talking to your state legislators, please bring it up with them as well because that is controlled by state law.
Joann Ariola
