The Chapel Hill Town Council hasn’t given up on trying to impose restrictions on the use of gas leaf blowers in Chapel Hill. Last fall the council considered banning them because, well, blowers make noise and that’s bad for people, the environment, yada, yada. But, thank goodness, the town attorney killed the move by saying he didn’t think the group had the authority to do that. Last night, however, the council decided to instead investigate regulating use of the gas blowers. Sadly, you have to read about 75 percent into the story to find the perspective of a landscaper, who noted that without blowers, customers might have to pay up to five times more for his service. If this ridiculous effort becomes law, I’d like to see some reasonable Chapel Hill residents turn the council’s logic against them and lobby the council to ban — or at least regulate — cheering at Carolina sporting events held in oh-so pristine Chapel Hill. After all, UNC games of every variety are really, really noisy affairs that hurt people and the environment, right?
