The Tennessee General Assembly has been in session since January 13, and 1,513 bills were filed by the February 12 deadline. Committees are meeting, and legislators are discussing issues dealing with health, education, the judiciary, sales tax, firearms, and federal funding for K-12 programs.
Breakfast with the Legislators provides a forum to get to know key legislative decision makers and to ask questions on issues in state government.
The February Breakfast with the Legislators will be held on Monday, February 23, from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. in the Social Room of the Oak Ridge Civic Center, located at 1401 Oak Ridge Turnpike. A free continental breakfast will be served.
Senators Ken Yager and Randy McNally and representatives John Ragan and Kent Calfee have been invited to speak Monday about the legislative outlook for this session of the Tennessee General Assembly and to respond to questions from the audience.
Breakfast with the Legislators is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge and is held on the fourth Monday of every month while the legislature is in session. This community event offers firsthand information on upcoming 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.
If the Oak Ridge Schools are closed due to severe weather, Breakfast with the Legislators will be canceled. For more information, contact Voter Service Chairperson Doris Sklad at (865) 483-5239.
