The Bellingham City Council tonight passed the long debated fireworks ban.  It will go into effect for next year, 2014.  The vote was 4 - 3.  Voting against were Michael Lilliquist, Seth Fleetwood and Terry Borneman.  There is little doubt that the mayor will sign it.   Maybe a dozen citizens spoke for the ban, while two fireworks lobbyists from out of town spoke against the ban.
