Calling all constituents: legislators want to hear your concerns at town hall meetings

State Rep. Michael Tryon, a Crystal Lake Republican, and Sen. Pamela J. Althoff, also a Republican from Crystal Lake, will host a series of town hall meetings to gather public input.

The events are free and open to the public.

"I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet with area residents to discuss the state issues that affect their lives.

"I am committed to staying in tune with my district, and I hope that residents will take the time to attend," Tryon said.

"The intention of these meetings is to provide the public with an outlet to have their voices heard."

Tryon and Althoff will present a brief legislative update, but will primarily be seeking opinions and questions from members of the community.

The public should feel free to attend either of the following dates: 7 p.m., Tuesday at Huntley village hall, 10987 Main St., Huntley; 7 p.m., Wednesday at Algonquin village hall, 2200 Harnish Drive, Algonquin

"I am pleased to host these town hall meetings with Representative Tryon," Althoff said.

"These meetings have been very productive in the past and are an excellent opportunity for us to meet with constituents and address their questions and concerns."
