Letter: Fireworks vote
To the editor:
I have celebrated the Fourth of July with fireworks all of my life. It has become an important part of my family’s patriotic activities. I worked at a fireworks stand on July 2, 3 and 4. During this time I saw thousands of men, women and children buy fireworks and that was only at one stand out of many.
With this in my mind, I find it odd that the city commission feels that they are representing the majority when they approved the ban. If they seriously think this is the case, then why not put it to public vote to prove their point? Wouldn’t this be the democratic thing to do?
