- Aurora city council opposes ballot initiative that would make all fentanyl possession a felony
Aurora's Government Relations Committee approved a resolution opposing Colorado's Initiative 85, which would change fentanyl possession to a felony offense even for amounts under one gram. Opponents argue that increasing incarceration rates will not solve the problem and could increase overdose deaths, while supporters like District Attorney George Brauchler emphasize the need for an aggressive response due to fentanyl's danger.
