U.S. Congressman Dan Boren (D-Okla.) will be holding three town hall meetings next week.

The meetings will be held Tuesday on the following schedule:

—8 to 10 a.m. at the S. Arch Thompson Auditorium at 221 E. Adams Ave. in McAlester

—11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Muskogee Civic Center at 425 Boston St.

—4 to 6 p.m. at the Pryor MidAmerican Expo Center at the intersection of U.S. Highway 69 South and Airport Road.

Boren said he already has a busy district work period schedule which includes meetings with civic clubs, an economic development forum, a panel on Oklahoma’s transportation infrastructure needs, multiple constituent office appointments as well as previously announced telephone town hall series.

Boren said the town hall meetings will be held to broaden the discussion on health care reform and to gather input from constituents across the Second District.

Boren said, “Town hall meetings are great opportunities for constituents in the Second District to come together as a community and share their thoughts and concerns. I hope these events are well attended, as communication is a key part of representing eastern Oklahoma. The dialogue expressed during town hall meetings greatly assist me.”


After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
