Are dog catchers public officials? Here they are contracted by the city. That's a pretty big difference.

- morganvachon 8y agoIt depends on the local government structure. I've lived in places where the "head dog catcher" was indeed an elected post. In other places it is an appointment by the local board of commissioners or mayor, making it a public position. In still others, like your example, it's a contract position the local government bids on like any other contractor.
