Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) announced today that he will be hosting a free community forum open to the public on Thursday, February 15 at 7 p.m. at the Hollwedel Memorial Library located at 5 Woodrow Dr. in Pavilion. Hawley will provide an update on the happenings of Albany and will answer questions from the audience. The event is sponsored by the Women’s Group “RAP.” “I enjoy these open community forums as a channel of communication between the residents I represent and the inner-workings of state government,” Hawley said. “We have a responsibility as public representatives to be open and accountable, and that is what forums like these are all about. I encourage everyone who is able to attend and I look forward to seeing you there.” Hawley is Assistant Minority Leader of the Assembly Minority Conference and currently serves on the Agriculture, Ways & Means, Rules, Insurance and Racing & Wagering committees.
