It's not about taking decisions away from local communities. In fact, we want to put local knowledge at the center of this process, which means that Mayors and local leaders, working in consultation with their fire chiefs, their fire officials, will have the authority to designate areas where fireworks can still be used safely based on conditions, local knowledge in the community. So we think this strikes the right balance. The default will be no fireworks. But every mayor with every fire warden in the state can decide where fireworks are. Okay. (20:43–20:58)
