Aurora City Council Moves Closer To Repealing Ban On Pit Bulls

(CBS4) -- Aurora is one step closer to repealing a ban on pit bulls. During a city council meeting Monday night, members voted to repeal the ban 7 to 3.
This is just the first reading.

One ordinance, sponsored by council member Allison Hiltz, would give city council the authority to eliminate the breed restrictions.

Mayor Mike Coffman introduced a competing ordinance earlier this month, which would allow voters to decide on the future of the pit bull ban in the 2021 municipal election.

Coffman's ordinance failed on a vote of 4-7, but the mayor said he would bring it up for another vote.
