than the promotions department at the zoo I believe they would have found not only that the zoo is not coming back but it is really crumbling without anybody knowing anything about Broome strongly denied he is pursuing a against zoo officials He acknowledged that he and his wife AZS board member Ellen Broome supported forma acting zoo Director Mike Williamson for the job Wallace took ova in February have no agenda regarding the future of the zoo ratha than to feel that the public should be given the Broome said stories we have done about the zoo have been based on fact" About three months ago Harrod assigned one of his four reporters Melony Johnson to work almost full time covering the zoo Harrod said Ms Johnson has uncovered deficiencies that show Burgess said there is an initial fee of 84750 Find Daddy then processes the case and pays any court fees that are necessary But where the big money comes: If Find Daddy is successful in collection efforts it receives $100 and 25 percent of whatever it collects Burgess said That percentage extends for the duration of the child support payments he said Custodial parents must give Find Daddy a powa of attorney to collect child support Burgess said that document stays in effect as long as the parent is supposed to receive support Find Daddy will receive payments from the absent parent deduct its fee and send the rest to the client Children's advocates have criticized the private child support agenda for making a profit from money that is owed to children But Moss said there is a cost to any service getting 75 percent of something instead of 100 percent of nothing It ia a service There is a cost to But Horace Satcha director of the child support enforcement office of the Alabama Department of Human

social animals' building there is no way to clean it and some of those animals are The zoo lost its accreditation during a period when it was without a permanent director But Wallace who has cleaned up the scum-choked pond that was in part to blame for the loss said he believes accreditation from the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums will be restored He said routine testing has showed that some animals test positive for the organism that causes dysentery a natural consequence of boosing the animals outdoors He said none is sick from the parasite and that the affected animals are treated Broome also charges that Ms Johnson has reported the zoo stories despite zoo and park board efforts to deny ha information anotha charge zoo officials deny entitled to see public documents and we give them to Pate said about 45 percent of the money due its clients Burgess said private agenda report a collection rate of 58 percent nationwide And he said state agenda like DHR tend to have more casa than they can handle adequately- Satcha conceded that DHR has a tremendous caseload and that in sane cases when little is known a private agency might be able to devote more time to the case While he doa not completely oppose private agencies Satcha said think they need to evaluate the private agenda very carefully both in terms of cost and what going to deliver" Judy Hayes president of the Alabama Citizen Coalition fa Enforcement of Support Services said parents should understand completely what servica will be provided at what cost is private enterprise and in
