Thanks so much Alicia, I just called Barbara Lifton's office. The woman I
spoke with had just read an article this morning (Ithaca Journal?) about
these owls and their arrival so was at least informed as to the underlying
information. She is going to check out who to contact and get back to me.
Yes, I called too and chose option 3, to speak with an assistant. She asked
me if there was a bill number, I said no, I'm calling to register extreme
displeasure. She took my zip code. I will try some other methods also
suggested to me.
