INDIANAPOLIS – State Rep. Gail Riecken (D-Evansville) announced today that she will conduct four town hall meetings on September 15 and 29 to give area residents a chance to discuss issues of concern and ask questions about state government.

The meetings will be:

SEPTEMBER 15

9 to 10:30 a.m.: Nativity Catholic Church, 3636 Pollack Avenue.

11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: Zion Missionary Baptist Church, 1800 South Governor.

SEPTEMBER 29

10 to 11:30 a.m.: St. John’s United Methodist Church, 1900 N. Fulton Avenue.

Noon to 1:30 p.m.: Liberty Missionary Baptist Church, 701 Oak Street.

“These town halls are designed around the general themes of jobs, the Interstate 69 project, and the Ohio River, but they also give the people of this area the opportunity to make their feelings known about any subjects that concern them, and discuss problems that we can help address at the state level,” Riecken said.

“I always believe in giving local residents every chance to stay involved and play an active role in the decisions I make as their state representative,” she added. “I strongly encourage everyone interested in good government to stop by these town halls in the weeks ahead.”
