That’s a great question, from the last inspection from the private consultant;
As the council votes to give away the collection tonight, in which they will, they have to ask what the Hell was the Zoo doing to eliminate this collection purposely. Also there is a referendum circulating that needs about 7,600 valid sigs in 20 days to save the collection.
Also, I heard 4 councilors were set to save the collection but feared the mayor would break the tie so they just voted YES. WHY?! If you are opposed to something, don’t consult with the mayor, consult with your fellow councilors and VOTE NO. I have always felt a NO vote is way more impactful because you force government to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better solution. So if you feel you need to vote NO, just do it. The public would respect you more if you stuck to your principles.
