Tomorrow voters in District 38B get the opportunity to ask their legislators about what’s going on in Annapolis. I’m not on their mailing list but fortunately Julie Brewington is, so I owe her thanks for sharing. Now I share with you.
As part of an ongoing effort to keep in touch with community needs, Delegate James Mathias and Delegate Norman Conway will hold town meetings through February with the goal to help them make informed decisions during the 2010 session of the Maryland General Assembly.
“The 427th Session of the General Assembly is now underway and there are many measures up for consideration such as balancing the State Budget and bills that target sexual predators,” Conway said.
“These town meetings will be an opportunity to share any concerns you may have with your Delegates.”
Conway & Mathias are looking forward to hearing about issues important to the citizens of Worcester & Wicomico Counties. The pair held similar town meetings at the beginning of 2009, and they both want to encourage all their constituents to attend again this year. They hope citizens will take the opportunity to share their opinions and concerns with the Delegates, as well as learn what the 2010 General Assembly will involve.
“Please come and let us know what’s on your mind as we continue to work hard for you on the Eastern Shore.”, Mathias said.
Those who are unable to attend the meetings can Contact Mathias and Conway directly. Their district office numbers are listed below.
The following town meetings have been scheduled:
Sat., Feb. 20, 11-12:30pm Salisbury – Wicomico Public Library
Sat., Feb. 20, 3-4:30pm Town Hall of Berlin

I went to one at this time last year in Pittsville and was frankly disappointed by the turnout – barely a dozen people bothered to come out. Hopefully this time will have a lot better crowd as there is more interest in government because we’re in an election year.
So come on out and see the show. It’s going to be a busy next couple days for me so I’m going to bag Friday Night Videos for the evening.
