TOWN HALL: Koch’s description is wrong

| March 9, 2025 1:00 AM

As an attendee at last Saturday’s town hall, I am compelled to share observations in rebuttal to Evan Koch’s description of the event.

The format was traditional: presentations by legislators to be followed by a Q&A. Further, the legislators had agreed to meet one on one with constituents after the forum. Legislators spoke to pending legislation they were most involved with, including both school funding and Medicaid, which Mr. Koch suggested were not addressed. I did not hear or perceive “scripted MAGA talking points.” Each legislator had his own presentation style. The presentations were substantive and not a “pep rally.” Initially the audience response was traditional applause and boos. Yes, the boos were clear and heard by the legislators and attendees. No one suppressed the boos from the crowd.
