Oberlin council to draft repeal of can ban ordinance
Oberlin officials will draft legislation to rescind the 11-year-old non-returnable can and bottle ban after a council vote. Local business leaders say the rule hurts sales as traders push for broader restrictions and possible countywide action. A first vote on the issue is planned for May 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers.
