Zoo might cut hours, staff to bridge deficit

Zoo might cut hours, staff to bridge deficit: "The fatal tiger mauling of a 17-year-old on Christmas Day 2007 has had a ripple effect that caused donors to pull back and visitors to stay home, and led the zoo to spend on safety upgrades.

It's a triple whammy in one of the worst recessions on record.

The zoo is projecting a $17 million budget for the 2009-2010 fiscal year, down $3 million from the current budget."
