Despite all the recent rain, we are only a few months away from sunshine and triple digit temperatures are on their way. And of course being the desert, all of our green will soon be turning brown as we head into the heat.
For years now, Cathedral City has allowed the non-profits within its borders to sell "safe and sane" fireworks as a fundraiser leading up to July 4th. Neighboring towns are upset by this as are local residents.Fireworks and the desert can be a very combustible matter.
It is high time this practice be put to an end. Surely the non-profits can come up with a better way to raise funds than this dangerous practice.
Appearing on my sho, new council members Shelly Kaplan and Marl Carneavale both expressed support for banning fireworks. Now is the time to hold their feet to the firecracker as it may be and get that elusive 3rd vote to end this once and for all..
Steve Kelly can be heard on 1450 KPTR 4p to 6p Pacific and on I Heart Radio
