Representative Frank Kloucek is holding eight public meetings this week to get public input on issues facing the Legislature and the state. I can think of no better way for our state legislators to get ready for the session than to get out in public to hear and raise issues. Are your local legislators making this kind of effort?
Worth noting: Rep. Kloucek's tour includes old and new District 19. On Friday, Kloucek heads up Highway 81 to visit Salem. Folks there in McCook County may well get to experience the kolache campaign in 2012, thanks to the Republican redistricting that swaps out two of their three legislators.
Here's Kloucek's full itinerary:
Wednesday December 14th
- 9 am Tripp Sport Bowl
- 2 pm Delmont Steakhouse (site of local socialism!)
Thursday December 15th
- 8am Corral Cafe, Tyndall
- 10 am Main Stop C Store, Scotland
- 2 pm Open Door Cafe, Menno
Friday December 16th
- 2 pm Sally's Steakhouse, Salem
Saturday December 17th
- 8 am Avon A1 Get and Go
- 10 am Players Sports Grill, Springfield
This is another example of how and why Frank has been a "warrior" for the common person for years. His compasson and commitment is second to none.
I have long said that if more legislators engaged their constituents like Rep. Kloucek does we would be in a much better position. Sure, some of his ideas and bills are a bit wacky, but he goes to bat for his constituents whenever he has the chance. I wish my own Reps. would do more of that! Keep up the great work, Frank!
How about coming to Alexandria Frank
I'm sure he will sooner or later (come to Alexadria)
