Letter to the editor: leaf blower proposal adds to overregulation

January 12, 2015

letter

To the editor:

We are increasingly overregulated in this town. Our zoning restrictions appear to increase every year and are time-consuming and expensive to comply with. Restrictions on water use are cumbersome and excessive. The average American uses more water than we do. Restrictions or regulation of leaf blower use in the densely built-up areas makes sense, but should not be imposed on the whole town.

Sincerely,

Eleanor Fitzgerald
Juniper Ridge Road
