ST. PAUL -- Sen. Al DeKruif and Rep. Kelby Woodard are co-hosting a series of office hours events in Northfield, Lonsdale and Belle Plaine Feb. 4.
The meetings coincide with the start of the 2012 legislative session and provide local citizens with an opportunity to meet individually with their local legislators to discuss any issues of importance to them. All District 25 residents are welcome to participate by booking a 15-minute block.
“A top priority in 2012 will be to continue to identify the kinds of reforms that improve our business climate, improve the delivery of services from the state, and make the most of Minnesotans hard-earned tax dollars,” Woodard said. “Your input is crucial to this process and I welcome all of your thoughts and ideas. These office hours meetings have been very popular with area residents in the past and I look forward to another round of productive discussions.”
The Feb. 4 schedule is as follows.
Northfield: 8 to 10 a.m., Quality Bakery, 410, Division St. S.
Lonsdale: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Lonsdale Library, 1006 Birch St. NE.
Belle Plaine: 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Kingsway Retirement Living, 815 W. Main St.
