Rep. Vic Kohring to Hold Legislative Town Meeting on MSC Campus (Feb. 14)

Rep. Vic Kohring has arranged to meet with his constituency in a “Town Meeting” on Saturday, February, 14, from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at Mat-Su College in FSM 204. Kohring has invited other valley representatives to also attend. This is your opportunity to meet face-to-face with your legislator(s) and ask questions. Given the recent budget cuts to the K-12 education and the proposed flat funding (at best) for the University there should be a good turnout and some good questions.
