More than 300 people attend hearing on helicopter noise
At the request of Congressman Howard L. Berman, the Federal Aviation Administration held a recent hearing in Sherman Oaks at which Angelenos voiced their complaints on helicopter noise – a huge problem in the Valley and across all of Los Angeles that has gotten out of control. Whether it's the low-flying paparazzi, news choppers or other privately-owned helicopters, our community is besieged by this incessant noise 24 hours a day. It's time to say enough is enough.
I am the co-author of legislation, AJR 25, calling upon Congress to pass Congressman Berman's legislation, the Los Angeles Helicopter Noise Act, that would regulate these noise polluters. Residents from all over the Valley came out to the hearing to let the FAA know that these low-flying choppers are affecting the quality of life for all of us, and some limits must be placed on them.
The community outpouring at the FAA hearing was overwhelming. A big thank you to Congressman Berman, his staff, and the FAA for spearheading a solution to this important problem.
