Fireworks: Grand Jury Calls for a 3 Year Moratorium! / City Council, Wait and See
- Several City Council Members feel that the Grand Jury report is slanted and opt for a wait and see policy.
- The Orange County Grand Jury has just published a report addressing the sale of fireworks in Orange County. They have advised the suspension of the sales and use of fireworks for a three year period. The report is titled "Anatomy of Safe and Sane Fireworks in Orange County" It was released April 24, 2008. You can review the report at: http://www.ocgrandjury.org/pdfs/fireworks/fireworks.pdf (Be patient this is a slow download. It is 14 pages.)
- Russ McDonald, who is leading the effort to put the fireworks issue on the ballot, has a heart condition, atrial fibrillation. Consequently, he has withdrawn the petition effort for now.
