In a time where teachers are being laid off, services are being cut, and money is tight, I have to question the wisdom of spending any part of a budget on drone shows or large fireworks displays that are here and gone in an instant. Perhaps have one celebration that many towns contribute to in a centralized location. This isn’t about showing patriotism, most people have that, part of patriotism is fiscal responsibility, and blowing money up that could hire a teacher for a year is not that. I’m not spending gas money on fireworks then 2 weeks later complain I have no money.
