Dinniman to hold two town hall meetings

PHOENIXVILLE >> State Sen. Andy Dinniman, D-19th Dist., is offering two opportunities to talk directly with constituents — a live Telephone Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, March 7, at 7 p.m. and an in-person Town Hall Meeting in Phoenixville on Saturday, March 11, at 10 a.m.

“We’re in a very politically active period for Chester County, Pennsylvania, and our nation,” Dinniman said in a release. “My office continues to receive an influx of comments and inquiries from constituents on a range of topics. I firmly believe it is the duty and obligation of every elected representative to hold public discussions and forums. That is why I am hosting these town hall meetings and will continue to do so.”

Both meetings will focus on local and state issues, as well as legislation and the state budget. However, questions and comments on any number of other topics will be accepted.
