Another chance for zoo plan
Hopefully the second attempt will work.
With public outrage mounting over the possibility that the Detroit Zoo may shut down, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s administration resuscitated a plan to save it on Tuesday.
The plan is the same one voted down by the council 7-2 Saturday night. It would have allowed the Detroit Zoological Society to run the zoo, which the city says it can no longer afford. But administration officials are reintroducing it anyway, hoping that after three days of venom and blame tossed among public officials, City Council members might be more willing to approve it.
