Her husband championed a leaf blower ordinance. The current mayor vetoed one the council voted in, much to the disgust of the citizens and area environmental groups who worked for this. Nearby towns all have one that requires battery-powered leaf blowers.

The current mayor, Susan McCartney is corrupt. There is a police officer whose brother owns a lawn maintenance firm in that town and that is why she vetoed it. The police officer actually admitted this to my face, as incredible as it sounds.
