Malloy coming to city for forum
HARTFORD >> Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman will host a community forum in Middletown on Wednesday, March 6.
These town hall-style events provide an opportunity to discuss the state’s pressing issues face-to-face with state residents, according to a statement from Malloy’s office. The event is open to the public; tickets are not necessary and seats are available on a first come, first served basis.
“We have a number of critically important issues facing the state, and I am eager for the opportunity to hear from residents about their concerns, so that we can move forward together,” Malloy said in a statement. “The last two years, I attended more than 30 events like this at venues across the state. I think being out there, talking with people face-to-face so that we can have an open exchange and I can hear what is on their minds helps all of us in government be more effective at serving the people we represent.”
Wyman said these forums are a great way for residents to have their voices heard.
“I look forward to hearing their personal visions for how we can make Connecticut a better place, now and for future generations,” she said.
Wednesday’s forum in Middletown will be held at City Hall, 245 deKoven Drive, and will run from 7 to 8 p.m. Those who would like an opportunity to ask a question should arrive a little bit earlier to fill out the sign-up sheet.
Additional dates and locations across the state will be announced as they are scheduled. For the latest schedule, visit governor.ct.gov/communityforums.
