Referendum submitted to rescind new county ban on fireworks
On Dec. 1, members of the Clark County Council approved new restrictions on what types of fireworks can be sold or used in the rural, unincorporated areas of Clark County. It will prohibit fireworks that explode, fly more than a foot into the air, or travel more than six feet along the ground. Republican, Peter Silliman said “The people of our county now have the power of referendum, which means if your councillors pass something that you don’t agree with, you can put that on hold,’’ Silliman said. “You can gather signatures and put that on the ballot so that people can decide for themselves.” Read more here.
