The Third Time's a Charm, Hopefully!

The next Bellingham City Council meeting, which begins at 7:00PM this next Monday, June 3rd, includes a Public Hearing regarding a proposed ordinance to prohibit consumer fireworks within the City of Bellingham in 2014.  Several of us have already visited Bellingham City Council meetings to express our fireworks concerns via Public Comments.  Actually we have done this twice this year, on Jan 28th and March 11th.  Several of us are returning again Monday evening to testify at the Public Hearing, and we are hoping, to cite an old adage, that the "third time's a charm"!  If testifying is "not in your network", you might consider showing your support of the proposed ordinance by simply being in Council Chambers during the hearing.  If you cannot be there, the meeting will be televised live on BTV10.  You can learn more about our efforts to ban fireworks by visiting this FaceBook page.  Later . . .
