Former long-term mayor and city council member Paul Tauer's legacy will always live on in Aurora. The city hosted a special ceremony this week renaming our city council chamber in his honor. Some describe Tauer as "Aurora's dad" for his many contributions to our city. He passed away last year. Also on this week's show, Aurora and the 7/20 Foundation get ready for the annual, "Reflection Garden on Tap and 5K" event; APD launches the Aurora Youth Caravan; and an Aurora man wins a popular Spanish TV talent show and gives us an in-studio performance. Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
