Marinette, WI: Committee to meet, may recommend breed ban, Aug 10

Thanks to Kathy for this Marinette update!

In July, the Marinette, WI, Public Safety and Code Enforcement Committee wrote up a proposal to ban “pit bulls.” Their decision to advance the ordinance to council was delayed by public protest.

The Committee will again discuss and possibly recommend a breed ban or breed-specific restrictions on Wednesday, August 10, at 4:45 PM, in Council Chambers, Marinette City Hall, 1905 Hall Avenue, Marinette, WI.

In addition to sending correspondence to council to oppose breed-discriminatory laws, residents and locals are urged to attend the Public Safety and Code Enforcement Committee meeting on August 10 to reiterate public opposition to the proposed ban.
