Time to take action!

A Cedar Rapids committee tasked with exploring the fireworks issue has announced that it supports a full ban on use of fireworks in city limits, along with restricting sales to industrial zones. This is exactly what we asked for! Now is the time to contact your council members and tell them that you support this recommendation! The recommendation will go to the Cedar Rapids City Council for approval at its next meeting, 4 p.m. Aug. 22 at City Hall, 101 First St. SE. http://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/government/u-turn-on-fireworks-cedar-rapids-committee-supports-ban-restricting-sales-20170808
