Rep. Betty Komp - Town Hall on Government Accountability

 Tuesday, July 22, 6 to 7 PM 

Woodburn Library, 280 Garfield St. Woodburn

In all the hoopla over the presidential election it's easy to forget that the easiest, and most effective, way to initiate change is right here at home.

As a legislator, it's tempting to rely on the seemingly endless streams of data and numbers.  It can be difficult to remember that this country's greatest assets are those who live right next door.

During the next few months, I am hosting town hall meetings in Salem and Woodburn and I encourage you to join me as we explore current topics and trends in health care (June 23), government accountability (July 22) and employment and workforce development (Aug. 21). 

Where should the state direct aggressive audits to ensure taxpayer money is being spent wisely? How can we make state government work more efficiently with local businesses to help create more good-paying jobs? Which state documents are most in need of being put in plain language so taxpayers know how their money is being spent?
