旧金山考虑提供850万美元的贷款, 以避免动物园关闭. San Francisco considers $8.5M loan to save zoo from closing.

旧金山官员正在考虑提供850万美元的贷款, 以防止市动物园因财政困难而关闭. San Francisco officials are considering an $8.5 million loan to prevent the city zoo from closing due to financial challenges. 包括市长丹尼尔·卢里和监督员默娜·梅尔加在内的市领导人认为，这笔贷款在财政上是负责任的，因为动物园去年亏损了650万美元。 City leaders, including Mayor Daniel Lurie and Supervisor Myrna Melgar, argue the loan is fiscally responsible as the zoo lost $6.5 million last year. 虽然一些工会代表对领导层的改善持乐观态度, 但批评人士认为非营利性运营商应该被取代. While some union representatives are optimistic about improved leadership, critics argue the nonprofit operator should be replaced.
