Aurora Sentinel: Aurora City Council members say they’re ready to resume in-person meetings, but the decision came after a night of political chaos and personal attacks that laid bare the lawmakers’ deep divisions. 

“There were many concerns that I still have had with the process of being virtual,” Councilmember Crystal Murillo said. “And I think that, in and of itself, it has been used as the political tool to silence folks who don’t agree with the majority.”

Murillo was one of three Democrats who broke ranks with the Republican-led majority on the city council and began holding public sessions outside of city hall during regular webcast meetings, which ended earlier this summer.
