NightSide - Should Leaf Blowers Be Banned?

BOSTON (CBS) - Newton, Massachusetts is considering a ban on leaf blowers during the summer months over concern that they make too much noise.

Tonight, Dan welcomes Phil Jepsen, a Newton landscaper, and Newton City Councilor Ted Hess-Mahan into the studio to talk about the ban and the reaction they've received from both sides of the issue. Would you support a ban on leaf blowers in your city or town?
