NightSide - Are Leaf Blowers Too Loud?

BOSTON (CBS) - Newton is considering a proposal that would ban leaf blowers during the summer months, set a limit of one leaf blower for every 10,000 square feet, and reemphasize enforcement of noise ordinances. Phil Jepsen and Faith Michaels think this is a terrible idea, and they sit down with Dan to talk about why they find the proposal concerning. What do you think? Is it worth cracking down on leaf blowers to help get rid of noise pollution? Or is it foolish to try to regulate landscaping tools?
