Salt Lake Council backs search for polling place to replace zoo over worries of bias
6 comments | Read story
All the animals deserve the best habitat that can be given them in the space provided (they should've moved to one of the 100+ acre sites that were debated about several years ago, but oh well).
The $33 million you're talking about is actually only half of what they were originally seeking and need. Until the council voted on this the figure was $65 million. So once the $33 million is used up the zoo will be asking for more again down the road in order to finish the project.
I'd like to see them expand the zoo across the street, sharing the property with This is the Place Monument (making it and the Zoo a joint attraction). They used to be talking about doing this, I'd like to know what's become of it.
Hogle has made some great strides recently with the new Elephant habitat & Asian Highlands... let's help them keep it up, vote YES.
And Hogle Zoo being one of the states top tourist attractions is why the state should be and is involved in helping.
So lets get out and vote everyone, lets keep to our voting history of the past and give the zoo what it's asking for. Vote YES on this "renew the Zoo" bond in November.
As for the issue about two precincts voting at the zoo, I don't see the big deal. Just as "Seriously?" pointed out in the feedback here, voting has always taken place in public schools for decades... but nobody ever cries foul about voting for school related issues at those school polling places do they? So why the worry now?
