Voters in Aurora will be asked to decide whether to repeal pit bull ban

Aurora councilmembers on Monday decided to ask voters in November whether to repeal the city’s pit bull ownership ban after a court deemed the council’s vote to do so in 2021 to be invalid. 

The decision is on appeal, but, in the meantime, the city could vote to put the question on the ballot, according to City Attorney Pete Schulte.  

It passed unanimously.

Only seven councilmembers were present when the vote was taken — Crystal Murillo and Alison Coombs were in another room listening to protesters who took over the meeting to demand the firing of the SWAT officer who killed Kilyn Lewis, whom the police sought for attempted homicide.
