Last fall the New York State legislature gave counties the
ability to legalize the sales of certain consumer fireworks, like ground based
fountains and sparklers. Now theSchenectadyCounty Legislature is currently debating a proposal to
allow residents the right to sell and use sparklers, fountains and other
novelties around the Fourth of July. This common sense local law will let our
residents enjoy the freedoms that Americans in 46 other states enjoy in
celebrating our Nation's independence.
We hope you will sign this petition to urge all members of theSchenectadyCounty
Legislature to support this local law!
With common sense and safety precautions, New Yorkers should be able to enjoy fireworks as they do in our surrounding states
