Regarding the fireworks survey, 401 people does not seem like a consensus to me. (“Survey: Residents don’t want fireworks ban,” Lynnwood Enterprise, May 23)
To Jim Smith, the money should have been spent to include all Lynnwood citizens, then you could have taken the results seriously.
Since our neighboring cities have a fireworks ban, everyone who wants to shoot off legal or illegal fireworks makes it a party here. Every year it is worse. Last year, in my area of Lynnwood, the fireworks began on June 22 and continued through July 12.
Any council member who is against a ban will not be getting my vote in the future.
I doubt the other cities sent a survey to a handful of people to determine if a ban should be supported. Elected council members voted for a ban. Thank you, Mark Smith, for continuing to push the issue.
If we can elect others who prefer a safe and sane holiday, without the garden in hand, maybe some of us can leave our homes and enjoy public fireworks displays, without worrying about fires from bottle rockets, which I routinely find on my deck and roof, on July 5.
