A US Senate candidate asked a brilliant question of candidate Peter Welch during the VPR debate on Wednesday, June 8, 2022: Isaac Evans-Frantz: “Congressman, the people of Burlington, South Burlington, and Winooski have voted multiple times against the F-35 fighter jets. The Burlington City Council voted 9 to 3 to have them removed. You took tens of thousands of dollars from Lockheed Martin and other military contractors, weapons manufacturers that were backing and servicing those F-35s. Shouldn’t we listen to the Vermonters, the people who are most affected, and get those out of our state?”
Thank you always James Marc Leas for standing for the rights of the citizens of VT. I know there are many who have been a part of working to shut this down....I am grateful to you and all of those who have worked for years now and have never given up on protecting the rights of the people who live in the area affected by the F35s. Vermont needs new leadership...that is very clear...May the old guard be voted out....and a new day begun by those who care about the people more than the power to do something to enrich themselves. Sincerely Marjorie Johnson
