In response to Dana Ralph (City Council) about banning fireworks in Kent, I’m certain your letter only fueled the frustration of voters.
Now we need to attend a workshop on Jan. 19 to support a ban?
What’s next, another study group or advisory vote?
I understand the need to be thoughtful about new laws, but given the history of this problem (I am a 25-year resident) and all the prior commentary, I would think it would not be this difficult to draft a law.
Simply look at what all the other surrounding cities have done, and you have an easy blueprint.
I truly wish I could say I trusted what the council would do with the overwhelming public desire to ban fireworks in Kent, but I strongly suspect they will drag their governmental feet yet again.
If you want to appease the frustrations of the voters, take action soon.
