Government at Work - Storing fireworks?
I'm not up on these things.
Maybe this is a bargain...
Maybe this is a bargain...
Kentucky's WLWT.com recently posted this story:
"Federal officials have spent more than $8 million storing about $1 million worth of fireworks seized from a northern Kentucky dealer.
The storage costs continue to rise more than three years after a federal judge ordered the return of nearly half the fireworks.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is paying nearly $102,000 monthly to store 44 tractor loads of fireworks at the former Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant in Nebraska. Some of the fireworks may now be dangerously unstable because they have not been stored properly for five years, the newspaper reports."
