“Mayor Jim Boroff also had a concern over some breed-specific language which listed dogs commonly referred to as ‘pit bulls’ as a dangerous breed. He suggested stating that ‘any breed considered dangerous by Ohio Revised Code’ would be considered instead.”
Since Ohio state law already considers “pit bulls” to be a ”vicious breed,” and Tiffin has to follow state law, neither clause–the current breed-specific clause nor the proposed ”any breed considered dangerous by Ohio Revised Code” clause–is necessary. Encourage the mayor and council to drop the current clause entirely, without a superfluous replacement clause.
