Rep. Bailey to outline 2005
legislative session to
local chamber groups
Tenth District citizens
will have an opportunity next week to ask questions of
Rep. Barbara Bailey
and to hear the outcome of the recently-concluded 2005
legislative session.
Bailey is scheduled to
speak about the session to the chambers of commerce in Stanwood, Oak
Harbor and Freeland.
"This is an opportunity to
be in contact with community leaders and citizens from throughout the
district to let them know what happened during session that will affect
their lives and to hear about the issues impacting them," said Bailey,
R-Oak Harbor.
"I think it will be a real eye opener for people to learn that the 2005
legislative session was not as rosy as some might portray.
Unfortunately, citizens will be paying more taxes, more regulations have
been heaped upon businesses, and little was done to control the costs of
health care," added Bailey. "It’s important for people to understand
what happened in this session so that we can work together to make
changes in the future."
The chamber meetings are
open to the public and Bailey encourages citizens to attend and ask
questions. The schedule is as follows:
-
Tuesday, June 14 -
noon - Stanwood Chamber of Commerce: Merrill Garden Assisted Living
Center, 7212 265th Street N.W., Stanwood. Phone: (360) 629-4304
-
Thursday, June 16 -
11:30 a.m. - Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce: CPO Club, Ault Field
Road, Oak Harbor. Phone: (360) 675-3755
-
Thursday, June 16 - 6
p.m. - Freeland Chamber of Commerce: M Bar C Ranch, Shore Meadows
Road, Freeland. Phone: (360) 331-1346
"It’s a legislative
report, but more importantly, a chance to listen to people’s concerns
and ideas. I’d like to invite everyone to attend and bring their
questions and suggestions," concluded Bailey.
To make reservations to
attend, call the chamber offices at the numbers listed above. For more
