Fireworks debate draws passionate crowd to Clark County Council

Forty residents packed Clark County Council chambers Wednesday as officials discussed potential changes to aerial fireworks laws. Nonprofits warned they could lose over half their fundraising revenue if forced to sell only "safe and sane" fireworks, while supporters of restrictions cited property damage and safety concerns. Councilor Matt Little declared there would be no ban "on his watch," but Chair Sue Marshall noted she receives more emails about curbing fireworks than any other issue. No vote was taken, but the nearly two-hour public comment session revealed deep community divisions on balancing tradition, fundraising, and safety in unincorporated Clark County. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/passionate-crowd-speaks-up-at-clark-county-council-in-regard-to-fireworks/ #ClarkCounty #Fireworks #Politics #Vancouver #CommunityNews #LocalGovernment #Nonprofits #PublicSafety #Washington
