Discussion Board #1:
In-Person Listening Session Preferences

In late January, we held in-person listening sessions.

We asked how the Madison community would like to participate in these discussions. We want this project to reach as many stakeholders as possible, so we were looking for your input on how we conducted these conversations.

We asked if you would prefer:

  • Listening sessions by neighborhood
  • Open houses
  • Town hall meetings
  • Weekday events
  • Weekend events
  • Evening events

For in-person meetings, how would you prefer to engage with this project?

I would say weekday events, where you go at a specific time to listen about any info, and hopefully be able to see jets up close

Personally I would prefer evening, weekday, events. This gives me the opportunity to include the meeting in my daily work schedule.

You need all of these. A considerable number of people who will be affected work, and their schedules will cover all times. In order to be available to all of them, you’ll need at least one session (and preferably more) that will provide opportunity to get to you.

Agree with Robert James. Several Sessions, weekends evenings and weeknights. This is too important an issue to limit it to one occasion.

I believe in order for all to have input a variety of methods would be great. What works for me, may not work for others. Weekends or evenings would work with my schedule. Looking at jets is always great but being able to bring concerns to the table is more important. I’ve provided my name and email for follow up.
Best,

I would like to see the presentations and minutes from the listening sessions published online for those who cannot attend the sessions.

I would like to see Senator Tammy Baldwin attend one of the listening sessions so she can talk to her constituents about her support for the squadron of F-35 fighter jets.

No zoom offerings? -given this is flu season with an
increase in COVID . Could you tape meetings that we can watch at online ?
Thanks for everyone’s work-whatever format you
can provide

I’m with Steven Klafka, I’d love to see presentation videos and minutes from the sessions published online for those of us who cannot attend.

BEFORE the F35s came to Madison, we attended listening sessions. These issues are EXACTLY the issues we brought up at that time, but the health of the good citizens of Madison weren’t part of the equation. Other communities in other states tried to warn us. The military report continued to deny any harm to the health of the citizens. And here it is. I hold the lawmakers who supported this move to account and will continue to hold them accountable.
