8th District Representatives to hold telephone town hall meeting to discuss 2014 legislative session
Members of the Washington State House of Representatives from the 8th Legislative District, Reps. Larry Haler and Brad Klippert, will host a telephone town hall meeting on Thursday, Jan. 16 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Citizens wishing to participate can call toll-free 1-800-761-6282.
“These forums act like a radio call-in show and serve as an excellent way for us to communicate with folks back home while we're in session,” said Haler, R-Richland. “Participants can take part in answering our survey, ask questions over the phone, or just listen in from the comfort of their own home. These events have proven very successful in the past in helping us gauge the opinions of the citizens we represent. I hope folks from the Eighth District are able to join us.”
The two legislators said that with still much talk of a potential gas tax, the implementation of Obamacare and the continuing investment in education as mandated by the state Supreme Court, there is much to discuss.
“I look forward to talking with the citizens of the Eighth Legislative District as the 2014 regular legislative session gets underway,” said Klippert, R-Kennewick. “I value their feedback on our work in Olympia; it's important to me. I want their input on issues that concern them, our community and our state.”
The 2014 legislative session is scheduled to start on Monday, Jan. 13 and last 60 days.
