Schmick to host telephone town
hall with constituents April 2
Rep.
Joe Schmick, R-Colfax, invites constituents to join him for a telephone town
hall Thursday, April 2, from 7 to 8 p.m.
The "teleforum" allows callers to listen in and ask questions of their
representative from the comfort of their own home. Citizens who wish to
call in to the live conversation should dial 1-877-229-8493 and then
enter pin number 14685.
"This
is a convenient way for citizens to find out what is happening in
Olympia and to ask me questions," Schmick said. "It gives
folks from my Eastern Washington district a chance to talk with
me and share their concerns without having to drive over the mountains
to do so."
The
discussion topics will be set by callers who can ask Schmick about anything
from the state budget to agriculture to education. Members of the
media are also encouraged to call and listen to the community
conversation.
"My
goal is to listen to my constituents and hear what they have to say
about a variety of issues," Schmick said. "It's important for people to
have more opportunities to connect with their government, and this
format encourages that."
After
the hour-long call, listeners will have a chance to record a voicemail
with further questions or comments for the 9th District legislator.
Schmick can also be contacted through his Legislative Web site at

e-mail at schmick.joe@leg.wa.gov.
