Good morning, Pueblo.

The Pueblo Zoo is campaigning to add a .167% retail sales tax on the November ballot to secure predictable funding and avoid closure in two to three years if current funds fall short.

Officials plan to collect 1,500 signatures by June for the (Our zoo, their future) initiative.

The Pueblo Zoo grew from its early 1900s roots into a modern facility focused on conservation and animal welfare (a nod to its evolving legacy) that connects its past with today's efforts.

Experts say diesel prices in Colorado are nearing record highs — rising costs may soon impact groceries and other goods statewide over the coming months.
