The 46th District legislators are hosting a telephone town hall during the legislative session on Tuesday, March 24th, at 6:00 PM.

Topics the legislators may address include:

  • Fully funding our children’s right to a good education

  • Making our tax system more fair
  • Increased affordability for higher education
  • Protecting our environment and combatting climate change

Shortly before 6 o’clock that evening, thousands of 46th Legislative District citizens will receive phone calls inviting them to stay on the line and participate in the Telephone Town Hall. Those who want to ask a question, or give comments, in this phone program will need simply to press “*3” (i.e., press the “star” button and then press the “3” button). If for some reason a citizen doesn’t get the call, he or she is encouraged to call the toll-free telephone number directly, 1-877-229-8493, and then enter PIN code No. 18646 when prompted to join the discussion.

The three lawmakers also emphasize that citizens should feel free to contact them individually. Further, people who want to send a message to lawmakers at any time can call the toll-free Legislative Hotline number, 1-800-562-6000, or this toll-free number, 1-800-635-9993 (for hearing-impaired citizens).
