Cariddi Planning Listening Sessions in North Berkshire

Print Story | Email Story

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — State Rep. Gailanne Cariddi, D-North Adams, has scheduled a series of community meetings for January.

The community meetings, titled "There Ought to be a Law," will allow citizens to share ideas about local and district issues, state government, and legislation – particularly what laws should exist and what laws, if any, should be repealed.

"Many legislators across the country have hosted similar meetings and I felt that it was important to do the same here," Cariddi said in a statement. "These meetings will give members of the public the opportunity to share ideas."

The schedule is as follows:

Lanesborough, Hancock

Thursday, Jan. 12, 6 p.m.
Lanesborough Senior Center

North Adams, Clarksburg, Florida
    
Friday, Jan. 20, at 2 p.m.


North Adams City Hall, Room 202

Friday, Jan. 20, at 6 p.m.
MCLA, Room 310, Murdock Hall
 
Adams, Cheshire
    
Monday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m.
Adams Town Hall

Williamstown, New Ashford

Saturday, Jan. 28, at 2 p.m.
Williamstown Town Hall


Citizens are welcome to attend any session that is convenient for them, but discussion will primarily focus on issues relevant to the communities in which each session is being held.
