WOODBRIDGE, Va. — On Thursday March 22, 2012, Woodbridge District Supervisor Frank Principi will host his fifth tele-town hall. At 7 p.m., 10,000 phone numbers will be automatically dialed, asking Woodbridge residents to participate in the live town hall discussion over the phone. The focus of the discussion will be on the proposed 2013 Budget. Once connected, residents can press 1 to ask a question or choose to just listen to the dialogue.
“I get very good feedback from these teletown hall meetings,” said Supervisor Principi. “People appreciate this easy and convenient way to get informed about what’s happening with local government. It also helps me reach an audience that doesn’t regularly attend town halls, for whatever reason. I would encourage anyone who receives my call to feel free to ask a question.”
