FOREST HILLS – February 22, 2013 – Senate Democratic Leader Jay Costa (D-Allegheny) said that public input is critical to having a fair and informed budget process in Harrisburg and that Town Hall Meetings are invaluable in gaining insight from citizens of the Pittsburgh area.
Costa’s next town hall meeting will be held at Chatham University in the Laughlin Music Hall, Welker Room on Saturday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. All citizens are welcome and encouraged to attend.
“There are some very serious budget decisions facing lawmakers this year,” Costa said. “It’s important that citizens have their voices heard, whether it’s about growing jobs, education, transportation, privatization or any other state matter. Taxpayers need to have a place at the budget table.”
“My colleagues and I believe there are a number of things to discuss in the governor’s budget proposal,” said Costa.
Costa will hold a series of meetings with residents of the 43rd District to learn their priorities and concerns when it comes to the budget and other state issues.
The senator plans to utilize the feedback he gathers from the discussions in the town hall meetings when he participates in upcoming state budget negotiations in Harrisburg.
