Sioux City Journal: Sioux City Council members voted Monday to overturn a controversial 11-year-old ban on pit bulls within city limits. The repeal of the ban becomes effective on Saturday. The ban, which was sponsored by former Councilman Aaron Rochester and unanimously adopted in September 2008, prohibited residents from having dogs that are 51 percent or more pit bull. Although no new pit bulls were allowed under the ban, it grandfathered in pit bulls that were registered by residents prior to April 25, 2009, provided the animals were registered each year.
