In fact, Zeitler hopes to overturn Parma’s pit-bull ban and is ready to take his case all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court. […]

Zeitler said he also plans to circulate a petition opposing the pit-bull ban and present the petition to council.

Councilman Larry Napoli said he does not favor ending the pit-bull ban. […] Mayor Tim DeGeeter said his administration will recommend that council make no changes to the pit-bull ban. […]
