THE BRIEFING
EPISODE 3  YOU AND ME

Thank you. I'm Steve Edmiston. I'm here to continue your briefing on NextGen and
proposed increased overflights  the briefing that you asked for but did not receive
from the FAA  two minutes at a time.

Today is about you and me and why I'm here. You control the Port of Seattle and
SeaTac Airport. As between us, you are the BOO-pound gorilla. You are the
collective Goliath. And, like wizards at Hogwarts, you have a magic wand - an
annual $670 million-dollar wand - to protect our communities. If you choose to use it.

In contrast, lcome as a citizen. I don't practice aviation law, but I've litigated
superfund lawsuits across the country. I haven't won an Oscar, but I've written
motion pictures for 20 years. What I've learned is this  I've learned how to tell the
story about what happens when a government agency fixates on economic growth,
behalf of humans
uses regulatory compliance as a shield, and fails to intervene on
and the environment, even when presented with the growing associations to
community harm  in other words, when a government runs the big tobacco
playbook against its own citizens. I don't want to tell that story. That is why I'm giving
you this briefing.

Two other triggers for my presence.

First, in the past decade, I've survived Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. And AML
Leukemia. And two stem cell transplants. And losing half my right lung. While there
and cancer, I submit that
may be no proof of causation between my life near SeaTac
scientists would readily accept we are "associated."

The second trigger is the 2016 EPA Environmental Justice Screening of air toxins. I

did not know that under our SeaTac flight path we already live in the 100th percentile
for "Cancer Risk lifetime." And
in the entire United States
the highest percentile
for "Respiratory Illness Risk" lifetime. This data is only an association, intended to
identify potential environmental issues. But this association was my rst data point.
And now it's yours  at the very time you seek to increase overflights.

Thank you for giving a citizen two-minutes to comment.
