7th District
representatives to host
telephone town hall
Thursday, April 16
Reps.
Joel Kretz and
Shelly
Short
will host a town hall over the phone for their constituents Thursday,
April 16 at 7 p.m. To participate, callers should call
toll-free 1-877-229-8493 and then enter pin number
14789.
The legislators will use new technology to communicate with constituents
about the issues they're facing in Olympia. The call works much
like a call-in radio show, where participants ask questions of
Kretz and Short directly during the hour.
"We have the largest legislative district in the state," said
Kretz, R-Wauconda. "This
teleforum technology allows us to hear from folks that would otherwise
be unable to travel to Olympia to express their ideas. I'm looking
forward to hearing some familiar voices and receiving input from the
people we represent back home."
The hour-long call will include legislative updates, a few survey
questions and live questions
from callers.
"There has been a lot happening here in Olympia," said
Short, R-Addy. "It's important for us to connect with everyone at home, listen to
their concerns and answer their questions. The fact that people
can do this from the comfort and convenience of their own home is a huge
plus for those of us with districts on the other side of the state."
