The lawsuit against the U.S. Navy over the planned expansion of airfield operations at Whidbey Island is "not a good use of state funds," Oak Harbor Mayor Robert Severns wrote to Attorney General Bob Ferguson.
In a letter dated July 19, Mayor Severns says he disagrees with Ferguson's lawsuit. Challenging the growth of the Navy's Growler program is "irresponsible and unjustifiable in the eyes of the majority of our citizens," Severns wrote.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the expansion done with federal dollars?

Yes, the issue is the noise level during touch & go and Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP) at the field south of NAS about 12-15 Miles. It's kind of like the people who bye a house next to a highway then complain about the traffic noise. Although since the EF-18's are here the noise is a lot worse and some days it does seem they are "Trying" to make more noise without reason.
