State legislature is on break: time for Town Hall meetings

Note: the following was taken from the "Childcare providers who are happy to be Union-free" Facebook page. The source of the 'town hall' list is the Minnesota DFL Party Facebook page. It is an incomplete list of town halls across the state. It focuses on where DFL members of the Legislature are holding town hall meetings over their Easter break from the Legislative session. Perhaps folks will read this who are in other areas of the state. It wouldn't hurt if you could share this with friends and neighbors in your area. Being informed helps.

For B-B-E area residents, DFL Rep. Mary Sawatzky is holding a town hall meeting in Spicer (see info below) next Saturday morning. She represents the area of the B-B-E school district that lies in Kandiyohi County.

"Town hall meetings are a great way to educate our legislators and the public about this issue. Here are some upcoming town hall meetings and we need people to attend and ask some good questions. Make sure they have the facts..."
