Uncle Sam would be proud, right?

New York took some items off its dangerous fireworks definition list in the fall, and now Troy is joining in the counties that will legally sell sparklers and more. This means no more driving out of state to get the goods for 4th of July and New Year's Eve.

The "on sale" dates for sparklers, party poppers, snaps and pops, showers and sparks is June 1 to July 5 and December 26 to January 2.

The Troy Record reports members of the county legislator as saying "This new county law will encourage safe and responsible use of these devices." I'm not sure that's how it works when you have more sparklers in more hands.

"The new county law will also help keep revenue right here in the state" that sounds like a real world answer.
