The League of Women Voters of Mercer County will be asking questions of local legislators during an open meeting at the Community Library of the Shenango Valley.  Interviews will follow a light lunch beginning at noon.

As a day of action 14 members of the DWMC attended this event.  

Our president Judy Hines acted as the timekeeper and and other members who belong to both organizations contributed food and helped with the event. 

Mark Longietti, Tedd Nesbit, and Parke Wentling answering questions composed by the State League of Women Voters. Our newly elected Senator Michele Brooks did finally arrive 45 minutes late. 

Questions were also submitted by the audiance. This was our best attended Legislative Interviews in recent history of this event. I counted over 50 folks and many more arrived after  my count, all 45 seats were filled with many people standing in back. 

Some of our DWMC members that came out in the cold snowy day in January with questions for our legislators.  

Thank you all for coming. 

It is important for our legistators to know that we care about the issues that they are working on. 

Several members of the press were there. Check the Record Argus for details about the questions and answers.
