California Bans . . . Small Engines?!?!

Meanwhile in Colorado

Colorado state environmental regulators unanimously approved a measure to crack down on certain uses of gas-powered lawn equipment as part of the state's broader climate push.

In an 8-0 vote, the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC) green-lit regulations that prohibit gas-powered lawn and garden equipment from being used on public property statewide. Under the finalized rules, the ban will be enforced beginning in 2025 and, according to the Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG), represents the first effort of its kind in the nation.

Well, either government employees using government-owned tractors, mowers, etc., will be scofflaws, or public property will become progressively shabbier and ungroomed. As just one example, I don't see any big electric mowers - the kind they use to groom highway frontages - coming on the market that will operate for a full 8 hour shift.

So the state employees will only have to identify as working?

How's that any different from what many of them do now?

Today, the leaners are actually expected to lean on their shovels when they're in the public eye. Identifying as a leaner isn't enough.

Old old joke.
Hear about all the government employees getting laid off? They invented a shovel that can stand up on it's own.

Nowadays they would make them all supervisors instead of laying them off.
