Per The Rutland Herald:
n an experiment that will join emerging technology with direct democracy, U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., will host a telephone town meeting to discuss Vermont's energy concerns at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Residents who wish to participate can call in to ask questions, tell their stories and listen as others discuss how the rising cost of gas and fuel are affecting them.
"The reason we're talking about energy and home heating and gas in particular is because that's the No. 1 issue people are bringing to me," Welch said.
The telephone town hall meeting is an extension of Welch's Congress in Your Community events in which Welch sets up a card table in front of hardware and grocery stores around the state to listen to residents' concerns, said Welch spokesman Andrew Savage.
If you're interested in participating, call 1-866-447-4149 (and use PIN code 13785#) at the meeting time. |
