The hole in the ozone layer just shrunk a little upon hearing this news.

The bill lists noise pollution as the reasons for the ban.


Great idea. Has nothing to do with California.

Get a broom or a rake if you don't like where God decided to put leaves.

The bill also claims that leaf blowers generate noise at a decibel level capable of causing hearing loss in a short amount of time

I’m surprised the rest of Illinois hasn’t seceded yet. The state is Chicago and it’s burbs and everyone else. Chicago makes Illinois a liberal shite hole but the entire state outside of that is basically Indiana.

One bawette in Alabama wants to pass a law requiring every male over 50 years of age to have a vasectomy.

I don't care so much about the pollution as I do the noise they make and the huge dust clouds they kick up when the landscape crews blow leaves off of dirt areas

I have a battery powered EGO blower after a lifetime of gas powered blowers. It's awesome. Lighter, quieter, blows harder, and doesn't create a cloud of exhaust that follows me around. I can use it places I never would have used my craftsman blowers. I blow out my truck cab. Blow out my warehouse. I've even used it to blow out my kitchen.

Nothing better than a cheap electric blower to clean out the garage/shop.

Where do you live where huge dust clouds are created from leaf blowers? Here in Texas we have sprinkler systems and a healthy annual precipitation average preventing such.

Nah man. It's battery powered. AND it auto spools the line. What took my 5 minutes to change the line now takes about 30 seconds.

Yeah I think the music in my headphones is more dangerous to my hearing than the leaf blower.
