TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— State Representative Tonya Pfaff and Mayor Brandon Sakbun hosted a joint town hall meeting for Vigo County.
This meeting gave those who attended the opportunity to hear about the work being done for the community at the statehouse and the mayor’s office. It also gave residents the chance to share any thoughts, concerns, or questions about key issues that impact the city and the state. Some of the topics discussed included road funding, Medicaid, LGBTQ concerns, and property taxes.
“You can’t say you’re transparent if you’re not letting people approach you with their concerns,” said Vigo County Mayor Brandon Sakbun. “Whether you agree or disagree with their concerns, it is our job to listen and represent all of our constituents, which is what our goal was to do today. Is hey what can we affect and change here locally and what do we need to pass on to the federal or state level.”
They plan to host one again, that date is to be determined.
