Lawrence Humane Society urges wider local donations
Lawrence Humane Society head Midge Grinstead cites donations from individuals $1 to thousands and company support, with more needed as shelter costs exceed $20,000 monthly. She emphasizes education to boost generosity and notes area firms donate when asked. Separately, Baldwin City clerk Penni Porter’s firing and ongoing criminal probe remain unresolved, with prosecutors reviewing aspects of the case and the sheriff’s fundmisappropriation investigation still open. Porter has not acknowledged interviews.
