Local elected officials are emerging in droves to voice opposition to a proposed machine gun range on Joint Base Cape Cod.
In the last week, Barnstable County commissioners announced they would be exploring legal action, and a group representing 22 municipalities and 105 elected officials on the Cape and Islands added to the chorus of criticism.
Today, the commissioners voted to “authorize legal counsel … to draft and send a letter on behalf of the Barnstable County commissioners to the Environmental Management Commission and other appropriate agencies and officials outlining legal concerns related to the proposed machine gun range proposed for the Upper Cape Water Supply Reserve.”
