You may have received the flyer yesterday in the mail with information (and solicitation) regarding the 4th of July Fireworks.  Got a call yesterday asking me if I looked at the postage on the envelope...I looked at mine, all normal, 45 cents, First Class mail.  His was $1.05...hmm.  He checked with another resident, hers was 85 cents.  What gives?  Administrative screw-up?  Don't look at the City staff, they didn't do the mailing.  Postal machine gone wild?  Maybe or could it have been operator error...and who was the operator?  Inquiring minds.

If you looked at the flyer it gave a detailed explanation of what is and is not allowed by City Code in regards to "legal" fireworks.  Alderman Finn very focused on a clamp down on scofflaws who ignore the law...apparently she has a neighbor who is a chronic violator.
