DeFazio to Visit Linn and Benton Counties Tuesday, August 14th

WASHINGTON, DC U.S. Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-Springfield) will visit Linn and Benton Counties on Tuesday, August 14th to hold three town hall meetings and speak to the Philomath Rotary.  The House of Representatives recently adjourned for the month of August and DeFazio has visits scheduled throughout the 4th Congressional District.

DeFazio plans to discuss current issues before Congress, like passage of legislation to implement the 9/11 Commission recommendations, the College Cost Reduction Act which is the largest investment in financial aid in 60 years, legislation to extend health care coverage to children and seniors, his fight to continue the vital county payments program, new forest thinning legislation, and the ongoing war in Iraq. The meetings will give DeFazio an opportunity to hear concerns and answer questions about federal issues.
