The U.S. Air Force is dismissing
allegations that Vermont should not have been a finalist to host the F-35.
The Air Force ranked the national
guard base at the Burlington airport as one of two preferred sites for new
jets.
But last week, South Burlington City
Council president Roseanne Greco said she had heard from a source in the Air
Force that "grave mistakes" were made in the selection process with
regard to the environmental impact of the planes.
Tuesday, the Air Force addressed those
allegations, saying the initial scoring of Burlington was done correctly and
that its ranking as a preferred site is valid.
