Residents Share Concerns With Congressman

Congress at Your Corner event was held at the Dublin Library.

Nearly three dozen Tri-Valley residents spent an hour at the Monday afternoon to speak with Congressman Jerry McNerney.

Residents brought up their concerns on topics including nuclear fuel storage, energy policies, the budget deficit and unemployment numbers.

“I’m firmly committed to being accessible to the people I represent,” said Congressman McNerney.

“Over the past four years, I’ve held dozens of these events and always enjoyed the opportunity to hear directly from the people I represent about their thoughts and ideas.  I encourage people to come share their thoughts and ideas with me.”

One retired kindergarten teacher said she appreciated the opportunity to speak with the Congressman. Others added that they hope future events are held in the evening or on the weekends so that those who during the day can attend.
