Governor holds public fora across the state

From Ed Iacaponi:

We received this notice from the state today. The Governor is sending his cabinet secretaries across the state to hold informational question-and-answer forums on any and all issues. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you think may be interested. It is open to all citizens, town officials, boards, committees, etc.


The notice says
The Governor’s Community Forums

Join Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles on Tuesday, May 12th at 7:00 p.m. at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Campus, Main Auditorium, 285 Westport Road, North Dartmouth

continued after the jump

A decline in state revenue is forcing state leaders to confront difficult decisions around what kind of government we want and how best to pay for it.

Please join Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles at a forum on Tuesday, May 12th at 7:00 p.m. at UMass Dartmouth in the Main Auditorium to hear directly about the choices facing the Commonwealth in the current economic climate.

Ask questions, offer suggestions and engage with your government and your neighbors on these issues.

For more information please visit www.mass.gov/governor/forums
or call 617-725-4005
