Ohio taking the lead from Pennsylvania??

Looks like potential good news for pyro's in Ohio! Looks like the state legislature was paying attention to what Pa did last year. Hopefully it eventually makes it's way to the Governors desk.

And the dreaded additional state "safety tax" will probably accompany it

When safety is outlawed, only outlaws will be safe.

4% if memory serves.

YES... they will tack on an additional TAX...and just because they are legal to shoot only on designated days and times, your local government can still make them illegal and the state law will not be valid. So you will pay the increased price and can still get in trouble for shooting them illegally. Last I heard, from my state rep, the Goverrnor will not sign it. But if he does, it will not be law for another 30 days so this 4th of July... it will still be illegal to shoot any firworks in Ohio.

Sign or no sign, the 4th in Ohio is going to be the same.
