Fact Check: "Pollock's mother calls funding cut 'cruel and wrong'."
What We Know
The claim that "Pollock's mother calls funding cut 'cruel and wrong'" appears to originate from a public comment made during a meeting of the Game, Fish and Parks Commission. In a document from the commission, a statement attributed to Adrienne Freyer of Hermosa, SD, reads, "This is cruel and wrong" in opposition to a funding cut related to a program she deemed "ridiculous & costly" and "inhumane" (source-1). However, the document does not specify that this comment was made by Pollock's mother, nor does it provide context about the specific funding cut being referenced.
Analysis
The statement attributed to Adrienne Freyer does express a strong emotional response to a funding cut, labeling it as "cruel and wrong." However, the lack of direct attribution to Pollock's mother raises questions about the accuracy of the claim. The source of the statement is a government commission document, which is generally reliable for public comments made during official meetings. Nonetheless, the document does not clarify the relationship between Freyer and Pollock, nor does it detail the specific program affected by the funding cut.
Additionally, the phrase "cruel and wrong" is not unique to this context; it has been used in various discussions regarding social issues, including prison conditions and other forms of institutional critique (source-4). This suggests that while the sentiment is valid, it may not be directly connected to Pollock's mother unless further evidence is provided.
Conclusion
Needs Research. The claim that "Pollock's mother calls funding cut 'cruel and wrong'" lacks sufficient evidence to confirm its accuracy. While a statement expressing this sentiment exists, it is not definitively linked to Pollock's mother in the available documentation. Further investigation is required to clarify the identity of the speaker and the context of the funding cut in question.
