New Canaan’s summer ban imposes higher costs on homeowners and small businesses without delivering tangible environmental benefits. As reported by the Greenwich Free Press, Greenwich’s seasonal ban delivered administrative chaos. By the end of its first summer, Greenwich police were flooded with a total of 479 complaints. When a policy negatively impacts local police, creates neighborhood division, and puts economic strain on vulnerable local workers, we have to admit the policy itself is flawed. When you look past the intentions and analyze the policy itself, New Canaan’s seasonal leaf blower ban fails.
