children at Zoo Tampa, which will include
a behind the scenes hands-on tour

children for this program.<o:p></o:p></p>

filed a lawsuit stating that, in spite of
the fact that county residents approved
the referendum, they do not have the
authority to tax themselves. Marion urged
chapter members to support the tax which
county voters passed, which includes HART
funding. He encouraged members to attend
the hearing concerning this tax at the
courthouse on Friday, May 3. If the
lawsuit is overturned, HART will receive
$125 million.<o:p></o:p></p>
