[Mpls] Leaf Blower action meeting post

[Amy]

Are there also noise differences between electric and gas powered lawnmowers, blowers, chainsaws, etc?  Are these differences taken in to account?

Absolutely 100% agree. This is silly. If leaf-blowers need any regulating,
it's just to prohibit their operation in the middle of the night, but noise
ordinances already cover that. See how many landscaping companies will do
business in Minneapolis if they can't use leaf-blowers!
