Several Dane County Supervisors are proposing a resolution that opposes basing the F-35s at Truax Field.

Supervisors Heidi Wegleitner (District 2), Michele Ritt (District 18), Paul Rusk (District 12), Yogesh Chawla (District 6), and Richard Kilmer (District 4) are sponsoring the resolution arguing the planes will have significant noise impacts and disproportionately affect low-income people, communities of color, and children, according to a report from NBC15 in Madison.

The Air Force is expected to make a final determination sometime after March 29.
