In those recordings, McKnight, among other things, appears to be heard identifying potential donors willing to fund some of the efforts to relocate the Baton Rouge Zoo to a site other than its current Greenwood Park location in the northern part of the parish. This seems to go against McKnight's previous public statements that she had not yet identified any funding sources specifically and that the agency has not yet moved ahead with exactly how they would fund the project. So far, the agency's leader has only said publicly that she hopes to secure private donors and that incorporating a tax into the plan would be of last resort.
