(ASHEBORO) -- The North Carolina Zoo is still looking to make management changes to allow them to make business decisions quicker and reduce red tape.

Spokesman Rod Hackney says he knows it may be some time before the issue is considered by lawmakers and Governor Pat McCrory,

"There are, I'm sure, many other more pressing situations in state government that the governor will be looking at before the zoo comes up in his consideration."

Hackney hopes some decisions will be made on the zoo governance issue by the summer.
