This year’s final Breakfast with the Legislators will be held on Monday, April 27, at the Oak Ridge Civic Center. Senators Ken Yager and Randy McNally and representatives John Ragan and Kent Calfee have been invited to speak about and sum up the legislative activities of this session of the Tennessee General Assembly and to respond to questions from the audience, a press release said.
The breakfast is scheduled from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. April 27 in the Social Room of the Oak Ridge Civic Center, which is at 1401 Oak Ridge Turnpike. A free continental breakfast will be served.
“The Tennessee General Assembly 2015 legislative session is winding down,” the press release said.
“The 109th General Assembly has considered over 3,700 bills ranging from revenue modernization and sale of state bonds to requirements for continuing education for realtors. Legislators have dealt with designating a state book, a state rifle, and a state veteran’s poem. Topical issues such as those dealing with Medicaid expansion, firearm regulations, and school vouchers have created increased public interest and involvement with the legislative process.”
Breakfast with the Legislators is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge, and it is held on the fourth Monday of every month while the legislature is in session.
“This community event offers firsthand information on state legislation and House and Senate committee activities and prompts dialogue among legislators and citizens and provides a great networking opportunity for members of the community,” the release said.
If the Oak Ridge schools are closed due to sever weather, Breakfast with the Legislators will be canceled. For additional information, contact Voter Service Chairperson Doris Sklad at (865) 483-5239.
