Is it any wonder, why the approval ratings of the Congress go up every time we go into recess? -Senator Robert Byrd
There’s a good article in the Salt Lake Tribune that tells us what Utah’s delegation will be up to during the August recess.
I called the offices of each one of our representatives to find out if they would be doing town hall meetings during the recess. Here’s what I found out:
- Senator Orrin Hatch‘s office is planning a town hall meeting for the end of August, but they didn’t have any details yet.
- Senator Bob Bennett will not be holding any town hall meetings but will be speaking at the Rural Business Conference in Cedar City (Aug. 20), Delta (Aug. 21), and Ephraim (Aug. 27). These events are free and open to the public, but you have to pre-register.
- Representative Rob Bishop will be holding several town halls but all the details are not yet finalized. He will be in Layton on August 19 from 7:30-9:00pm at the Layton City Council chambers and in Grantsville on August 20.
- Representative Jim Matheson will not be holding any town hall meetings and plans on meeting with local leaders throughout his district.
- Representative Jason Chaffetz will hold town hall meetings at the following locations:
- Provo – August 25 7pm, 51 South University Ave. 3rd Floor Ballroom
- South Jordan – August 26 7pm, South Jordan Library 10673 South Redwood Road
- Ephraim – September 2 1pm, Greenwood Student Center 250 East College Ave.
- Fillmore – September 2 5pm, Old Territorial Statehouse
- Delta – September 2 7pm, Delta City Office 76 N 200 W
