Zoo executives latest to get in trouble for fancy rides

Mayors aren’t the only city employees getting in trouble for fancy rides. Both the executive director and chief operating officer of the Toledo Zoo turned in their respective leases on a Jeep and Dodge for a pair of new Volvos. This did not sit well with locals. The director went with a new XC90 SUV, that he claimed was safer and more fuel efficient than the Jeep Liberty he was in previously. Taxpayers are footing the $673.94 a month for the XC90 and that’s on top of the director’s salary of $175,535. The COO brings in $107,646. Who knew there was so much money in monkeys?
