Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) announced he will be hosting an informational town hall meeting to discuss the 2017-18 state budget with residents as well as address local concerns. The meeting will take place on Thursday, May 11, from 4–5 p.m. in the mezzanine of the Mills Building at North Country Community College, located at 61 William St. in Malone.

“My town hall meetings have been a great way to let people know about the work I’m doing in Albany as well as a chance for me to hear what’s on your minds so I can keep working to make our communities stronger,” Jones said.

The meeting will be Jones’ seventh town hall event as part of his continuing District Tour. These town forums have provided a unique opportunity for residents to ask questions about the state budget and how it impacts the region, as well as bring community issues or concerns to the forefront. Jones has previously hosted town hall meetings in Au Sable, Champlain, Fort Covington, Hopkinton, Tupper Lake and Plattsburgh.

“It’s my priority to be accessible and accountable to the people I represent. My door is always open – I’m here to help,” Jones said. “Together, we can build a better North Country for all our families.”

Since taking office in January, Jones has had more than 40 meetings with his constituents in his district office and had 84 public events across his district. If you cannot make it to the event and would like to schedule a meeting or have questions about any other community issue, please contact Assemblyman Jones’ office at 518-562-1986 or email JonesB@nyassembly.gov.
