JOhn

From its opening until 1991, the zoo was owned and operated by the City of Fort Worth.

In October 1991 the Fort Worth Zoological Association assumed management of the zoo under a contract with the city.

Does not mean it was bought, only managed.

BTW, This is all of public record

One of the things that makes a 30.06 sign valid is where it is placed. INSIDE after paying an entrance fee is NOT a correct place to post. Then there IS the state preemption on what cities and counties can do at most sites other than council/commissioners court meetings.
