Lubbock AJ again has proven it takes it's editorial policy from "big government" at Lubbock County. Today the AJ trumpeted that the "partial ban" on fireworks is logical. The county banned sticks and fins fireworks only because they were to "spineless" to ban all fireworks. The "safety issue" of fireworks has never been addressed. County reaps close to $100,000 in extra sales tax revenue if fireworks stands open. Residents that must depend on "volunteer fire protection" are the most vulnerable to fireworks side effects like grassfires and structure fires. This editor again placed "No Fireworks" signs near "junkyard row" hoping to discourage fireworks near WT Free Press headquarters. A complete ban on fireworks would not be a freedom issue,it would be a safety issue.
"Say No" to all fireworks this 4th!!
