State Rep. Gail Riecken (D-Evansville) announced today that a community town hall originally scheduled for earlier this month now will take place November 16 at the First Presbyterian Church in Evansville.
The town hall will begin at 10 a.m. on November 16 at the church, located at 609 E. Second Street.
“This town hall will give area residents a chance to tell me their priorities for the upcoming 2014 session of the Indiana General Assembly,†Riecken said. “As hard as it might seem to believe, Organization Day to prepare for the 2014 session is Tuesday, November 19. I want to give everyone the chance to tell me what the Legislature needs to do in areas like job creation, education reform, and improving access to health care.
“I also want to use this event to get local input on the actions being taken by the state’s Commission on Improving the Status of Children, a group that I serve on that is looking to improve the delivery of services to neglected and abused children across Indiana,†she continued. “I believe the best way to achieve that mission is to gain the views of individuals and groups from our area who can bring a local perspective to identifying problems and finding solutions.â€
