THE CITY COUNCIL OF SIOUX CITY IS GOING TO REVISIT THE CITY’S FIREWORKS ORDINANCE BEFORE NEW YEAR’S EVE.
COUNCILMAN DAN MOORE BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE AT THE END OF MONDAY’S MEETING, SAYING THAT 10,000 MILITARY VETERANS IN THE METRO AREA ARE IMPACTED NEGATIVELY BY LOUD FIREWORKS:

MARK SOLHEIM, A PRIVATE CITIZEN, HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE VETERAN’S FIREWORKS PSA PLAN WITH MOORE:
