Franklin to hold town hall meeting

OLYMPIA – Sen. Rosa Franklin, D-Tacoma, will host a town hall meeting to discuss health care, education and other critical issues considered during the recently concluded 2007 legislative session.

The meetings will give residents of the 29th Legislative District an opportunity to comment on and ask questions about the state budget, transportation, election issues, affordable housing and other matters of interest.

“It was an uncommonly productive session,” Franklin said. “We brought health care to more children and adults. We boosted education funding to help all our children succeed in school. And we passed fiscally responsible budgets that salt away money for a rainy day.”

The town hall is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 28, at the Korean Women’s Association Community Services Center, 123 E. 96th St., Tacoma. It is free and open to the public.

Democratic Reps. Steve Conway and Steve Kirby have been invited to join Franklin at the town hall.
