Councilmember Riemer's Town-Hall Solutions Forum

Message from Councilmember Hans Riemer:
"Please join me on December 12, for a town-hall Solutions Forum in Rockville.  The event will take place at Richard Montgomery High School in the cafeteria, at 7:00 pm. I am nearing the end of my first year on the County Council!  Friends and community members regularly ask me if the job is everything I had expected.  The answer is, it is even better than I hoped.  I get to spend every day figuring out how to make my community a better place to live.  On Monday, December 12, I’d like to spend some time discussing community needs with you at my first town-hall style event.  I’m calling it a “Solutions Forum” because I want the focus to be on solving problems.

That evening, I will discuss some of my agenda items for the coming year as well as review milestones from 2011.  I will present some early information about our budget and fiscal situation and talk about how we work to balance priorities at the County Council.  

I will look to hear from residents about our priorities: education, economic development, transportation, parks, libraries, social services, neighborhood conditions, youth engagement, senior living, county government effectiveness and responsiveness, sector plans... any issue that is on your mind. Town Halls are a great way for me to get your input and for you to get your questions answered. You can help with Council decision-making by coming out to voice your views about issues happening in your neighborhood. This is the way to have an effective government.
