I can't seem to get past the paywall. Can you give a summary of the article?

There's hardly any detail in the article, but the long and short of it is that the Eugene city council rescinded the ordinance that was going to ban new construction with natural gas, due to various legal concerns. But it also looks likely that they're going to try again with a better-written ordinance that doesn't carry the same potential legal pitfalls.
