TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now)- Planning on spending the
long holiday weekend camping or spending time outdoors in the Coronado National

Game and Fish in Tucson, in a recent news release. "So never approach or feed
bears. Secure all food and garbage.  Unfortunately, a fed bear may become

Arizona Game and Fish has

moved bears often travel long distances to return to their home territory.

Horne spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham says Horne thinks the revised ordinance is "fine," believing it addresses his concerns.

The Bisbee City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday night to formally propose a scaled-back version of the ordinance.

That sets the stage for a June 4 vote by the council on whether to approve the measure.

Bisbee officials rewrote an earlier version after Horne threatened to sue over provisions that Horne said were in conflict with state law or went beyond the city's authority.
