To report someone you need to take a photograph, but no one wants to do that. So, we are waiting for the board to change the rule.

Please leave all the immigrant landscapers alone. They have enough problems currently.

I understand the noise and pollution concerns, but I live up county on 7 acres and plan to continue to use my gas powered leaf blower a few weekends in the fall to clean up leaves. No one is going to hear or see it. When it breaks, I will look at battery ones. What makes sense for Silver Spring doesn't necessarily make sense everywhere else. I think that's the problem with the law. There should have been exceptions for large properties.

But I yearn for the heady days of my youth as a hall monitor.

I don't think any of the council members have a property more than a quarter acre. If they had larger properties with twenty or thirty oak trees, like some of us do, they would have a better understanding what's required to clean up the yard.

Thing is, we have about a half an acre and don't clean our yard.

Just blow off the driveway and sidewalk. The leaves aren't going to attack you, unless you live in an HOA.

How does your lawn not die?

No Kings!

But Let’s go ahead and ban legally purchased gas blowers because we don’t like the noise.

You keep telling yourself that. Lie to yourself.

I’ve been using my gas powered blower for a few weeks now. No one has turned me in yet.

I think people realize that snitching is NOT anonymous, despite what the county says - and people are not willing to put themselves out there for turning in their neighbors.

If those lawn service employees are here illegally, they SHOULD be arrested and deported.

We have an electric blower for leaves in the fall, the electric ones are significantly quieter, just require recharging the battery.

I have a Stihl electric leaf blower. It’s every bit as loud as a typical gas blower.

It's anonymous in MoCo - I report the blowers and the folks who can't be bothered to shovel the snow off their sidewalks all the time.
