FIREWORKS
CREATING PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOODS.
Everyone deserves peace.
Every night, our community is besieged by illegal fireworks. For years, people have been shooting off fireworks late at night and into the early morning hours, waking our families, disturbing our pets, and undermining the physical and mental health of our neighbors.
We need to explore new technologies that could help us identify illegal fireworks in shipping containers. We should also partner with dock workers to ensure that adequate staffing is available for fireworks inspections.
We can also make it easier for law enforcement to enforce fireworks regulations by allowing them to write citations for offenders, rather than having to perform full investigations for every complaint.
To make real progress toward resolving this issue, all options should be on the table. I am devoted to taking concrete steps to keep our community safe and quiet.
