Culture clash as Honolulu's partial fireworks ban passes

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The new partial fireworks ban in Honolulu has set off a powder keg of complaints from folks in the Chinese community. Councilman Rod Tam has even gone so far as to say it is unconstitutional.

But in the past couple of weeks, Honolulu Hale has been flooded with calls and emails from residents who say fireworks restrictions hurt their cultural identity.
