Fireworks are For Families

Fireworks are for Families. I understand the need to move the Fireworks this year and the need for RSVP to have a fund raiser. However 4th of July is about celebrating Freedom and Equality for all Americans, not just those who can pay for a good view.

I believe our City could find a way to manage traffic in and out of Centennial Park to afford all of Carson residents a premium family friendly viewing area. Why not use this necessary change as an opportunity to improve our community celebration rather than downgrade it? I believe our leaders could do this.

I imagine that RSVP's golf tournament will attract non-family men and women who do not celebrate with their children on the 4th. Perhaps RSVP could attract the Family Crowd and increase their revenues by asking for $5.00 per car for entrance into the park.
