2021 Yes on Measure D

2021 Yes on Measure D Paid for by Yes on Measure D — Protect Our Future/FPPC #1439905 Some say banning legal (safe and sane) fireworks will increase illegal fireworks use.

Fireworks, especially in a fire prone wildland-urban interface community like Rohnert Park experiencing tinder dry conditions during an extreme drought, are anything but safe and sane. This belief is unfounded and misleading. Don’t be fooled by it. The Orange County Grand Jury studied legal and illegal fireworks in 1988 and 2008 and found:
(1) the use of illegal fireworks is significantly greater

in cities that allow the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks; (2) “safe and sane” fireworks mask the use of illegal fireworks and frustrate enforcement efforts; (3) clogged and littered streets hamper public safety response (for fire, medical or safety incidents); (4) fireworks have significant negative environmental impacts on our air and waterways. All fireworks (legal and illegal) can cause PTSD victims and pets to suffer terribly. University of Pennsylvania Medicine found that “individuals with PTSD, as well as any combat veteran regardless of their PTSD status, are more likely to be triggered or respond to” fireworks. Should we callously disregard the suffering of these individuals, many of whom are veterans or newer residents who are victims of the 2017 and 2019 fires, or the abuse fireworks inflict on pets? Some Rohnert Park non-profits fundraise through fireworks sales. A ban does not mean they will lose funding, however. The City of Rohnert Park Foundation has established a Replacement Funding Program to keep these non-profits whole for at least one year (and possibly longer) should a ban be enacted. Voting Yes to ban fireworks will prevent regional fires from fireworks sold in Rohnert Park and aligns Rohnert Park with the 90% of county residents that took this same step many years ago. Ban fireworks in Rohnert Park by voting Yes.

Very fair and balanced article from Sunday, September 5 edition of the Press Democrat.

For those that may question if RP is under fire risk, just consider the fact that 59 fireworks-related fires that occurred over the last four 4ths of July were extinguished BEFORE any homes burned.

We can lower our fire risk during this extreme drought without hurting nonprofits.

Vote Yes on Measure D to protect our future.

A measure before voters asks whether a ban on the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks for personal use should be kept in place.

Did you know TNT Fireworks parent company, American Promotional Events, is the ONLY contributor to the campaign against Measure D? Not one private citizen or local organization has donated a dime. Are you surprised that TNT has put in $100,000 to protect their profits at the expense of our community’s safety!

The below required Form 460, filed by the opposition, and available on the RP City website, tells you how serious this.

Don’t fall for TNT’s campaign.
