Hawaii politicans needs to focus on the big important problems, high cost of living, high taxes affordable housing, homeless. Just legalize fireworks and aerial. It's the least of the problems, don't solve the easy problems, solve the important issues.

He's delusional thinking sparklers and fountains will help with illegal aerials. 🤣

[ernestchacon]

Oh hell no, fireworks start fires in private neighborhoods not to mention dry empty acres..., WTF ???

[Jazzfestn]

"Bills" dont stop crime. Enforcement and PAINFUL PUNISHMENTS do!

Good to know this guy will listen to his "friend" and not the people of Hawaii 👍🏽
His friend 👉🏽🇨🇳👈🏽

If you don't want to fight fire don't be a firemen!

[SeanMahoney]

This is a bad idea. Fires have decreased and the facts are undeniable. Aerials will always be in demand due to the quality and effect. Look at the dead brush all over the island and it takes just 1 sparkler or fountain that just continually ejects thousands of sparks. It's simply not worth it.

Please consider the impact of smoke on people with breathing problems such as asthma and COPD!

Who's his friend?😂😂😂... Guarantee he gonna profit from the law passing if it does

[jtabarejo]

Why bring back a fire and health hazard? Money.

[tim]

Yeah that’s not going to do anything.

Put a lien on anyone’s residence until they pay a 3000.00 penalty. That will stop it

[OahuRunna]

Let the people vote if fireworks should be legal again
Politicians made this problem by banning fireworks in the first place

[sleepyvtek]

Bring back all the fireworks but add a extra tax to go to first responders for overtime pay.

[Brysonrocket]

This help with the kids how about the adults?

[AtTheHeartOfItALL]

all these illegal activities, lol...i see cops driving by plainly in sight of these so called illegal activities, and they do nothing. I mean talk about wanting to fill a quota, yet, they don't do nothing about illegal fireworks when it happens every where very often.
