Sen. Cathy Giessel Will Hold Constituent Town Hall Meetings at Rabbit Cr., Eagle R. Saturday, Feb. 18

ANCHORAGE – State Senator Cathy Giessel will host or co-host two open forum town hall meetings this Saturday, February 18, 2012 to discuss issues with her Senate District P constituents in South Anchorage and Eagle River. The South Anchorage town hall meeting will be held at the Rabbit Creek Community Church from 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. The Eagle River town hall meeting is scheduled for the Chugiak Senior Center from 2-4:00 p.m.

“Now that our 2012 legislative session is well underway, I think it is prudent to check in with interested constituents to find out what is important to them,” Giessel said. “Many crucial issues have been held over from last year – including tax reform that results in increased TAPS throughput; equitable education funding; the Susitna-Watana dam project; and diminishing federal dollars, to name just a few. I look forward to meeting with my friends and neighbors and incorporating their concerns and ideas into the debate in Juneau.”
