Swarthmore Environmental Committee Spikes Lawnmower Ban
By Bob Small
Just a handful of citizens attended the June 26 Swarthmore Environmental Committeee Meeting to hear it declare it was not ready to move the proposed lawnmower ban forward at July’s meeting.
Actually, the proposed ordinance would ban all combustion-powered outdoor maintenance equipment (CPOME ). Battery-powered and electric devices remain legal.
Citizens overwhelmingly came out against it at the June 10 borough council meeting causing council to table it and return it to the environmental committee.
The proposed ban would have been the first in Pennsylvania, and received extensive coverage in local media.
Back to the important things in life like the Phillies.
Totally ridiculous that these bureaucrats believe they can dictate whatever they like…
