Reps. Steve Tharinger, D-Dungeness, and Kevin Van De Wege, D-Sequim, host a second telephone town hall beginning 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 16. A large-scale conference call for the whole district, the event allows participants to ask questions and share comments about legislative issues.

The live, one-hour event is free. Anyone who does not receive a call but wants to participate should dial the toll-free participant number, 877-229-8493, and enter PIN code No. 18646 when prompted.

Tharinger and Van De Wege say constituent feedback from their first joint telephone town hall was overwhelmingly positive and they have been asked repeatedly to do a similar event now that the 2012 legislative session is over.

Both Tharinger and Van De Wege also held several in-person town hall events during the 2012 session. For more information, call Tharinger and Van De Wege at 582-9830.
