The city of Emporia is reexamining its fireworks policy but initial discussions among the city commission Wednesday morning did not seem to indicate that changes are on the horizon. Commissioner Susan Brinkman said it was her understanding that there were few fireworks-related complaints last year in late June and early July. “I genuinely don’t see anything wrong with leaving it stand the way that it is, from the time that they’re sold,” Brinkman said. “Not having had (police chief Ed Owens) come to us with a lot of complaints and not seeing anyone here today really advocating for (changes) tells me that I’m okay leaving it as it is.”
