Community Lawsuit Update

The SANER Group has officially filed our response to the City’s demurrer– their attempt to throw out our case. Let’s be clear: we aren’t going anywhere!

⚖️ The noise ordinance took 12 long years of litigation to create, and the primary reason for it was to safeguard the health and well-being of the Long Beach community from the detrimental effects of excessive aircraft noise.

The City cannot pick and choose when to enforce it.

We are united, we are strong, and we will never stop fighting until the City finally upholds its own laws. This case is about fairness, accountability, and protecting the quality of life in our neighborhoods.

📄 Please take the time to read the filing so you know exactly where we stand and why this fight matters. Together, we will hold them accountable.

🙏 As attorney bills continue to come in, we need your support to keep this legal battle moving forward. Every donation large or small keeps this fight alive. If you haven’t donated yet, now is the time. If you already have, we are deeply grateful for your support.

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.

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