Legislative delegation meeting Thursday

Franklin County’s legislative delegation will be in Franklin County on Thursday afternoon to hear from the public and from local government representatives.

The delegation, which includes state representatives Leonard Bembry and Jimmy Patronis and State Senator Bill Montford, will be here to discuss issues of interest to elected officials and the general public.

The hearings are valuable in making legislators aware of the concerns and needs of Franklin County before the new legislative session begins next March.

Generally the hearings also offer a chance for Franklin County to request state money for local projects, but the legislature won’t be taking county requests for money this year again because of an tight state budget.

If you do plan to attend the legislative delegation hearing, it will be held Thursday at 4 PM at the Franklin County Courthouse Annex in Apalachicola.
