Today on the show, we’re joined by environmental activists Steven Klafka with Safe Skies Clean Water Wisconsin and Lance Green from Sustainable Madison Committee for an update on ongoing efforts to halt the stationing of a fleet of F-35 fighter jets in Madison, planned for 2023.

Responding to a steady stream of listener calls, they discuss the economic and environmental impacts of the F-35s, environmental remediation for PFAS contamination, and more.

To learn more about military spending and the budget, you can listen to our recent episode with Lindsay Koshgarian from the National Priorities Project.
