Introduced by Rep. Barbara Farrah (D) on March 20, 2008, to establish a comprehensive regulatory regime for the sale, distribution and use of fireworks, including licensing, fees, and retail location taxes. Prohibitions on some types of 'consumer fireworks' that are currently illegal would be removed, and this appears to include firecrackers, bottle rockets, aerial spinners, Roman candles, etc. (“APA standard 87-1” fireworks).
- Referred to the House Regulatory Reform Committee on March 20, 2008.

1) ban them all by Anonymous Citizen on July 5, 2008
Here in Ohio people that buy fireworks are ignorant, obnoxious people who think there is nothing wrong with lighting off fireworks a week before and after independence day. It's an excuse to act like asses. They could care less if it's after midnight and their neighbors are trying to sleep. I wish the police would do their job and enforce Ohio fireworks law or at the very least these pyromaniacs would blow their fingers off. Grow up you a**holes.

2) Happy July 4th to all by Jennybegone on June 24, 2008
Here's wishing a happy July 4th to everyone, regardless of your position on this issue. Grandma Jenny is looking to fleece you for every penny you have, so enjoy it while you can.

I think there should be a real fireworks celebration when she is finally outta there, either by recall or term limits. As bad as Engler was, he was nowhere this incompetent.
