They did not get the chance and held an impromptu rally outside City Hall where former Mayoral candidate Matthew Thompson criticised Common Council for conducting business as usual.
He claims two members of Council, he spoke to, told him they supported helping the S-P-C-A but did not want their names publicised.
How much money should the city give the S-P-C-A? Thompson telling reporters it should be along the lines of what Moncton and Fredericton contribute to animal control which he claims is from 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year.
Thompson also says he will be running for Mayor again in 2016.
