Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, is inviting constituents in the 10th District to participate in a telephone town hall meeting Thursday, Jan. 26. The community conversation begins at 6:30 p.m. and will last one hour.
To participate, residents may call the toll-free number at 1-877-229-8493 and enter the code 14881 when prompted. During the telephone town hall, Smith will listen to residents, answer questions and discuss a variety of topics related to the 2012 session.

There will also be an opportunity at the end of the call to leave a message for Smith.
“The Legislature is currently working through a $1.5 billion budget shortfall. In the first couple weeks of session we have also heard proposals for education reforms, new transportation revenues, job creation measures, and many other critical issues,β said Smith. βIt is important I receive input from constituents on these difficult issues, and it is a great opportunity to connect with residents spread out across our legislative district.β
Constituents who are unable to participate in the telephone town hall meeting can reach Smith at her legislative office at (360) 786-7884 or norma.smith@leg.wa.gov.
