OLYMPIA – At 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 2, households across the 11th Legislative District will receive a phone call from State Rep. Bob Hasegawa (D-Seattle). Those who pick up will be invited to participate in a one-hour telephone town hall during which they can learn about the current legislative session and share their thoughts and questions with the lawmaker.
Only those with land lines will receive a phone call, so those wanting to participate via cell phone, or from somewhere other than their home can call toll-free 877-229-8493. The ID code is 15515. The number will be available about ten minutes before the town hall begins.
Hasegawa said this is a convenient way to reach out to constituents and get their input during a particularly difficult session when legislators must close a multi-billion dollar budget gap.
