Newport council moves forward on banning leaf blowers - Daily Pilot

WAY TOO much sun out there folks! The State is bankrupt...and it's leaf blowers that are the enemy....too much sun....yup...that's the ticket....

Gardeners will no longer be able to use gas-powered leaf blowers in Newport Beach, once an ordinance the City Council approved Tuesday takes effect.

After the council members' lengthy discussion and the failure of a motion to also ban electric blowers, the council voted 4 to 3 to force groundskeepers to use a more quiet method to collect leaves and debris.

“I hate blowers,” Councilman Rush Hill said. “They just drive us crazy in our house.”"
