After another disgusting “celebration” of our country’s Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, I am totally disappointed that the mayor and the City Council of Kent continue to support the use of private fireworks.
Political leaders in neighboring cities (Renton, Des Moines, Federal Way, SeaTac, etc.) have recognized the cost to their taxpayers, the danger and worthlessness of private fireworks.
Time for our elected officials to show similar political courage. There are better and far more appropriate ways of recognizing this important holiday.
