Fireworks

Individual cities should have the right to ban fireworks, even though the state legalized it. Fireworks are more dangerous in some cities than others. For example, the cities that have a higher crime rate (referring to crimes the fall under the category of arson), might be at higher risk for firework related "accidents." Cities in Northern Maine that have large areas of farmland are at a higher risk as well. July (the time when fireworks are most popular) is the peak of summer, the hottest month, so therefore grass and other plants have a tendency to dry out. Dry grass and improperly set off fireworks are a recipe for disaster. This is why cities should have the right to ban fireworks if they deem it necessary.
