Dear Neighbor,
The calendar is quite full these days as I continue meeting with local citizens to collect input in preparation for the 2016 session. Below is a quick rundown of what is in store over the next several days. I hope you have a chance to join us for one or more of these events. These are great opportunities to talk about a variety of important issues.
