Illegal fireworks noise

Said bomb-like fireworks near her home near the golf course shake windows, produce choking smoke, and go off nearly every July night; asked the city to enforce noise ordinances and act preventively.

Described her great-niece's baby and dog traumatized by fireworks and a veteran neighbor who shakes through the night; asked for a 10:30 p.m. cutoff and extra police patrols during July.

Urged the mayor and police chief to work with alders on enforcement, citing the 'three Vs' — veterans, veterinarians, and voters — and the danger fireworks pose to his horses.
