After yesterday's post, "Officials Would Rather Withhold Zoo Funds Instead Of Just Removing Director", I literally said out loud, "I'm Done!". I felt, with that post, I had done all I could, as far as documenting the saga in this blog. I felt Free.
A friend who is invested in the wellness of Our Zoo, messaged me a bit ago after reading that post,...
"They shouldn't keep the money from animals. The only money I would like to see withheld is Tanya salary."
They are right, and it is something I hadn't thought of when writing the post, even though it was in the same vein as my previous thought. In a post dated December 13, 2024, I wrote...
"So, the audit. Reported to take up to a year to complete, I guess that means another year of Our Zoo languishing under Director Peterson and her sucking $320,000+ from the payroll, for allegedly working less than part-time, as well as digging a deeper grave for Our Zoo.
Tanya Peterson should at the very least, be removed as Zoo Director, during the duration of the audit."
I had yet to send an email, along with my post to City Officials, including Supervisor Melgar, who's idea it is to withhold the Zoo's City Funding. I have just now sent those emails, with the following notation...
"At the very least, Tanya Peterson should be put on Leave of Absence, until compliance is achieved. The CFO and Board should be able to comply in her absence. There is already a Team of management level Staff, who have come forward who can run the Zoo."
In my opinion, while we wait for the Mayor and the RecPark Officials to grow some Balls and Fire Tanya Peterson, putting her on immediate Leave of Absence, seems like the obvious step. Unless of course the Mayor and RecPark Officials can't even do that.
The Animals daily needs and the Zoo's operation, shouldn't be threatened, because this woman won't play ball.
