THE CITY JUST HIRED A HIGH PROFILE DENVER ATTORNEY—AND YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT!

The City of Long Beach has now hired Eric Pilsk of Kaplan Kirsch, a high-profile Denver lawyer known for defending airports not residents. This is who they brought in to fight us, the very people they were elected to serve.

Let that sink in: they’re using YOUR tax dollars to fight YOU!

Instead of enforcing the city’s own noise ordinance and protecting our neighborhoods from relentless flight school abuse, they’ve chosen to lawyer up at great expense to defend their own failure.

This isn’t just a betrayal. It’s a slap in the face to all residents of Long Beach.

💥 They failed to enforce the ordinance.

💥 They ignored our pleas.

💥 Now they’re using our own money to fight us in court.

This is what it looks like when a city sides with special interests over its own people.

👉 Please donate today. Every dollar is a stand against corruption, cowardice, and the complete disregard for our communities.

We’re fighting for our homes. They’re fighting for flight schools!

🚨 CALL TO ACTION – HELP FUND OUR LEGAL FIGHT 🚨

Big news: SANER Group has officially filed our lawsuit in Long Beach court. This is a major step forward in holding our city accountable and protecting our neighborhoods. We’ll share the complaint as soon as we’re cleared to post it.

But right now, we need your support.

We’ve received a large legal bill, and we’re asking everyone to donate whatever they can.

✅ SANER is a nonprofit organization

✅ Your donation is 100% tax-deductible

✅ Every dollar goes directly to our legal fund

Our community is worth fighting for our peace, our quality of life, and our home values are on the line.

If you can make your donation an automatic monthly payment, that would be fantastic. This type of auto donation helps SANER admin better able to direct our legal team and to make sure they are paid in a timely manner. This legal action to secure our peace of mind in the neighborhoods is expensive (and forced upon us by the City of Long Beach where they count on residents NOT taking on this type of action at their own expense.)

If you support SANER’s effort to ask the City of Long Beach to enforce the Noise Ordinance and it’s original intention to protect neighborhoods from constant air traffic noise, please make a donation to our legal fund.

We want to thank everyone who showed up at the recent Community Conversations event at the Expo. Thanks to all the SANER volunteers for their help in set-up, tear-down and manning our community table.
A BIG thank you to Lisa Dunn for speaking and taking questions from the audience.
Thank you to Citizens About Responsible Planning (CARP) for funding the event and to all the neighborhood groups who had tables representing their organizations. We appreciate you!

Major Legal Announcement Soon!!

We will have details regarding the SANER lawsuit available very soon. Filings have been made and we will post the details as soon as our legal team updates us.

Again, we want to thank everyone who has and continues to DONATE to the SANER legal fund. This is a long and expensive road we have been forced to travel down but SANER and our legal team are committed to persevering!

In the meantime, stay informed, join the Facebook Saner Group, and attend the Community Conversation event coming up June 19th at the Expo Center.

ACTION ITEM!

PROTECT OUR NOISE ORDINANCE!

Neighbors: Time is of the essence. BEFORE THIS BILL HITS THE FLOOR we are asking everyone to join SANER in taking action on this by contacting our Assembly Member Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal. (Contact link below).

https://a69.asmdc.org/contact

-AB431 has language that says this bill supersedes ANY local ordinances. We are very concerned this may include our noise ordinance.

Please write Josh and ask him to specifically protect our noise ordinance.

This bill is problematic on a multitude of levels, including unrestricted growth in low-flying helicopter taxis. So throw that in also if you like.

BUT PROTECT THE NOISE ORDINANCE. That’s critical.

The Mayor has decided that the City supports this on OUR BEHALF.
