COUNTY LEGISLATURE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVES ZOO FUNDING

The Erie County Legislature unanimously approved just over $5,000 in funding for the Buffalo Zoo at its October 2 session.

"The County Legislature authorized $5,048 that the Zoo can keep from its 2007 budget. This allows the zoo to continue its fine efforts," County Legislature Chair Lynn M. Marinelli (D-Buffalo, Tonawanda) said. "The county has assisted with the new rain forest and sea otter exhibits. The Zoo is taking a great cultural and tourist asset and I compliment President Donna Fernandes and her staff." Legislator Marinelli also serves on the Zoo's board.
