Neighboring NJ and other states have started Lawsuits against Pa. because of the amount of items now getting into there state since citizens can-now just cross border and fill there carts. Our legistlators will do nothing despite dramatic increases of injurys and accidental fires from fireworks they are solidly in bed woth the fire works industry and it is a dam shame. It is going to take an incident like in liberty OH where people have to die before something is done.
