Long Beach City officials are asking residents to turn off their water immediately.

This is so that water department workers can attempt to normalize the pressure, flush the system and test the water quality.

Editor Joseph Kellard and reporter Joley Welkowitz are reporting live from City Hall.

On this site there is a copy of Rescue Inks's 2011 tax form which is public information. It shows right on that tax form how they only paid 6% of their income for the animals. Also it is in the contract (also public information) with the City Of Long Beach, that Rescue Ink is just "running" the shelter. The building is owned & maintained by the City which also pays all utilities & vet bills. You should do a little research yourself before you question us. We could never put up these "facts" unless they were true.
