Longview — The Longview News Journal is reporting: Longview’s mayor and the Humane Society of Northeast Texas’ board president said Thursday that there are no plans for the animal shelter to turn over its property and assets to the city.

District 1 City Councilman John Sims said the humane society’s board told him at a meeting a week ago that it was interested in turning over the shelter and its assets to the city. According to Sims, the board also told him it had made the same offer to Mayor Jay Dean months ago.
