New Look!

Don't be alarmed, the Ozark Missouri Observer blog has a new look. I liked the old blog template, but my embedded meeting videos didn't fit right. This new layout holds the videos better.

Your Input: Fireworks inside Ozark City Limits

Howdy!

This year was the first year in ??? years that the City of Ozark has permitted the setting off of fireworks within its city limits. How do you think it went?

When the change to allow fireworks came before the board, I was excited that they were going to change the code to allow it. As you may have noticed, I like freedom and less government, even when it comes to something as trivial as fireworks. However, I have received some complaints, and I would like your opinion on the topic.

My question to you: Do you think Ozark should continue to allow the shooting of fireworks in city limits? What is the appropriate course of action against those who cause unreasonable litter or damage to their neighbors' property while legally shooting fireworks?
