Notes about Alleged Funds Mismanagement by new management at Hermitage

This was not even covered in the Star article:
"In my opinion, there were other factors that led to my not being reinstated. For one thing, I spoke with a Board member regarding a mailing the Hermitage had done requesting funds earmarked for several special projects at the shelter. I was told (by the ED) that funds had been received for these projects, but when I requested release of such monies to purchase materials for them, was told repeatedly that there was no money available. I expressed my opinion that this might not be seen in a favorable light by donors who visited the shelter and wanted to see the results of their contributions. To the best of my knowledge, this concern was not addressed."

This may be the root of the matter, and the real reason for all the firings.  This is so typical of treatment of whistleblowers, and also of the way decent, long run organizations are sometimes taken over by people with short-term mentalities.  Please read the blog and judge for yourself.  By the way I'm not associated in any way with the hermitage, I'm just a critical reader.
