Kid with sparkler A bill that would legalize sparklers and other small fireworks arrived on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's desk just in time for the 4th of July holiday. But once again, he has failed to sign it, reported Politics on the Hudson.

The bill passed the state Legislature last month, the third time similar bills have passed the Legislature. But Cuomo vetoed them twice before. This year, though, sponsors of the bill said they worked with Cuomo in hopes of getting a bill he would support.

But alas, the 4th of July is here, and the bill remains untouched. No sparklers.

So the next time your kids will have a chance to play with sparklers might be around New Year's... or more likely, not as long as Andrew Cuomo is governor.
