Last night the Duluth City Council approved the zoo to be taken over by the zoological society. Well it almost seemed like it would not pass at one point last. As the union councilors pressed forward to allow workers make sure they have a job. Now the contract stated that the workers would have a job with the city. However that did not seem to satisfy the union councilors.
Well councilors Sharla Gardner and Tony Cuneo were not going to support the contact because of the unions. They did not say this direct but you could tell by there comments that they were holding the union line. They used buzz words instead of union. They kept using the workers, and employees. Yet think about this if you were getting laid off from you job would your employer call you in and ask you think you should be laid off. No, yet this is what these councilors wear working for in part.
The 6-3 vote in favor of the contact was great to have now the zoo has a chance at surviving. There is nothing for sure but now the society has a chance to run it and see what they can. Well the if the vote would have failed the zoo would have closed end of case.
The three that voted against the contact should be voted out of office next time around. Those councilors are Sharla Gardner 3rd district and at large councilors Tony Cuneo and Jeff Anderson.
