How is this a public commission for the Library when the Library says it is NOT for them in their press release and they will use no funds to support it? And how is this public when its being forced on the public with no other choices of artist offered and funded by a private person? Besides being a dog killer not representing the population who would use the Library that owns/rescues animals, what exactly IS this commission? He can't keep saying its for the library. So Otterness and his rich buddies want to plop something on the sidewalk near the library and try to get the credit for having done something FOR the Library? Not with the Library's or the public's support, in a public place at the Library.. lol what kind of scam is he and this person running anyway? What sort of tax break do you get for a forced 700k "donation"?
