Councilman Dick Brown voted no. For the wrong reason.
The council is not considering the impact of blowing stuff containing carcinogens into the air.
Far bigger issue.
Eliminate the blowers and everyone benefits.
WAKE up council

Dick Brown is right. People around here no longer seem to value (or understand) freedom very much, and seem to think their fellow citizens are too dumb to make their own choices. Somehow that belief supposedly justifies forcing other people to act in agreement with the self-anointed. Welcome to California, I guess.
And yes, leaf blowers emit irrelevantly small amounts of CO2. So does breathing, and so does driving, and so does producing the device you’re reading this on. There’s a good reason we do these things: they help human beings live and live well. That’s the standard that matters.
This ban is just virtue signaling, and I hope everyone involved knows that your nakedly anti-human motivations are clear as daylight.
