Go ahead and purchase your Fireworks this year. Take them over to your Firework Supporting Council Member's House and knock on their door holding a lit Sparkler and have your kids setting up the fireworks on their front lawn or in their driveway or on the street in front of their house.
You may want to invite yourself to Former City Manager Tom Schwab's house and to the homes of the Base Ball Teams Board Members and the Soccer Team Board Members. Light them up... but be safe... on their property but not in my back yard, front yard or anywhere near my house.
IF you burn my house down I will sue the city, the sports teams and who ever lit the match in that order.
