Cupertino City Council considers bringing back Fourth of July firework show
Briefly

Leaders in Cupertino are considering the return of their fireworks display, which was canceled in the previous year because of budget deficits attributed to a sales tax agreement mismanagement with Apple. After a recent audit, Cupertino can retain significant sales tax revenue from Apple, prompting the City Council to form a subcommittee to examine the logistics of reinstating the fireworks show. While most council members support the idea, Councilmember Sheila Mohan raises concerns about environmental and fire risks associated with the event.

The Cupertino council has tentatively set aside $140,000 to explore bringing back the fireworks show, which was canceled last year due to budget cuts.
