WORT: Updates on F-35 Fighter Jets in Madison

Here’s the podcast from the show I hosted today with Supervisor Heidi Wegleitner and Alders Rebecca Kemble and Grant Foster.  And, all the links and additional information that I rattled off!

Also a huge thanks to Richelle the producer, Engineer Carol and Receptionist Jim, to make sure everything went smoothly!

Oh so many ways to find a link to the show!

So, there are many ways to make your voices heard. It’s very important that the Air Force hears from you by September 27th. The city, county and school board will also have proposed resolutions, which may become input for the Air Force as well.

COMMENTS DUE SEPTEMBER 27th WITH AIRFORCE
Comment on-line here: http://www.angf35eis.com

CITY COUNCIL
This is their resolution, we are expecting an alternate version at some point that will not say that the council opposes the F-35s. You can email all alders at allalders@cityofmadison.com. Be sure to give them your address so they know you are from Madison! They will also be discussing their resolution tomorrow night and you can make public comments at the meeting. They meet at 6:30 and they have a relatively short agenda. It’s item 58. Expect supports to show up with their fancy hats.

COUNTY BOARD
Resolution expected to come out Tuesday, introduced on Thursday and then will go through committee. For comments email county_board_recipients@countyofdane.com

SCHOOL BOARD
Also doing a resolution. When it comes out you can comment at board@madison.k12.wi.us
