COMMUNICATION: State legislators lack it
It’s great to receive periodic newsletter updates from our congressional delegates in Washington, D.C. I especially appreciate listening to the telephone town hall conversations with Congressman Fulcher. It’s unfortunate that our state legislators don’t put this kind of effort into communicating with their constituents.
There are typically a couple of “Legislative Town Halls” during the session, but those meetings do not allow for meaningful dialogue between the legislators and those they represent. There are usually between eight and 12 legislators on the panel. The questions from community members are screened, and often paraphrased and include the opinion of the moderator. There is no opportunity for follow-up questions.
