Councilors hear residents’ views on fireworks

Clark County councilors listened to nearly two hours of public comment May 21 largely opposed to the idea of a ban on holiday fireworks, even though no councilor actually had proposed a ban.

Dozens of people filled the county’s hearing room to tell the councilors of the benefits of fireworks sales for local nonprofits, youth sports and community service organizations. One woman sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
