The 4th of July fireworks show in Long Beach celebrating 250 years of independence has been CANCELLED

Newsom’s commission says fireworks pollute the water, despite the organizer showing 10 YEARS of testing proving this false

Despite the testing, the Coastal Commission said the fireworks show is too environmentally unfriendly

“We do not pollute the water. We do not affect wildlife. We've done testing for 10 years.”

“Kids are gonna be devastated when I go home and tell them this news.”
