Dear Neighbors,
WHAT: Burlington City Council Public Hearing and Vote on Prohibiting the F-35 Basing
WHEN: Monday, October 28.
Come early for the "People and the Planet Before Planes" rally at 5:15 pm
Public hearing begins at 6:00 pm
WHERE: Burlington City Hall, corner of Church and Main
WHY: This is one of the most significant local decisions of a generation
On Monday, October 28, the Burlington City Council will vote on a binding resolution (amended and strengthened based on the recent City Attorney's legal opinion) to bar the basing of the F-35.
A large attendance of people opposed to the F-35 basing from Burlington, Chittenden County, and beyond is essential and will make a difference. We expect a close vote. Bring friends, neighbors, and anyone else you can to stand up for priorities that put people before planes or government subsidies.
