Hopefully we can all agree that we’re concerned about our kids’ health, whether they are rich or poor, hippie or patriot, black or white. Our research committee has done some digging into the details of noise and its effect on children.

Dear Commissioner Chen,
I am writing this letter at the behest of Austin Sumner, Chair of the Burlington Board of Health. I presented during the public comment period this month at the Board of Health meeting. He suggested at that time that I contact you and ask you to open an investigation into the public health effects that will be caused if the F-35 Weapon System is based at the Burlington International Airport.
The US Air Force seems to be paying attention to our efforts. We just wanted to send a big shout out to them and encourage them to keep coming back: we’re here to stay and we’re not going away!
The Air Force is one of our most loyal site visitors: 65 visits in the past month with an average visit time of 6 minutes per visit! See a bit of our Google analytics report below documenting this.
Thanks for the love folks.
