Hillsborough County residents will have a unique opportunity to share their views and concerns with elected officials next week, thanks to two prominent lawmakers in the Tampa Bay Area. Seeking input on how state government can more efficiently meet citizens’ needs, State Senator Victor Crist (R-Tampa) and Representative Ed Homan (R-Tampa) will join residents across the county in a town hall meeting on Tuesday, January 26th at Temple Terrace City Hall. Prepared to address hot-button topics such as economic development, public safety, health care and transportation, Crist and Homan announced the meeting today as the first in a series of informal gatherings that Senator Crist is organizing throughout Hillsborough and Pasco Counties to give residents the chance to discuss issues and share ideas, open-forum style.
“Town hall meetings are a great opportunity for local residents to openly examine the issues and challenges facing their community”, explained Senator Crist, “we’ll be leaving the discussions open so that everyone has a chance to participate”. Senator Crist also noted that the meeting will not adjourn until all in attendance have had a chance to speak.
The meeting, free and open to the public, will convene at 6:30pm at Temple Terrace City Hall, located at 11250 North 56th Street, in the City Council chambers. For planning purposes, those planning to attend are encouraged—but not required—to contact Jennifer Wilson by email at Wilson.jennifer.S12@flsenate.gov, or by telephone at 813-975-6658.
