I checked the website of Senator Schumer, then the website of Senator Gillibrand. I couldn’t find a schedule for either one, let alone any listing of when they will be in my area. Upon further digging (which wasn’t very hard) I found out they refuse to hold any town halls in New York.
Itching to unload on Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand at a town hall meeting on health care reform?
You’re out of luck.
Aides to the New York Democrats told the Daily News they won’t be sponsoring any town hall meetings on health care. Instead, they will be touring the state and soliciting opinions in more informal settings. “During recess, as he does every year, Sen. Schumer will be in over 20 counties across New York City and state talking with thousands of constituents, discussing the issues that are important to them,” Schumer spokesman Josh Vlasto said.
Glen Caplin, a spokesman for Gillibrand, said she will hold “Senate at your supermarket” events, a custom she began as an upstate congresswoman.
I didn’t find anything on Gillibrand’s website informing me when she’ll be in my local supermarket. I was able to find out that she has a fundraising event in Geneseo, New York tonight. I guess she’s more concerned with getting herself elected (she was appointed to her senate seat) than she is hearing from her constituents.
As for Schumer, he keeps popping up all over the state for pork sponsored photo-ops, but doesn’t have the guts to face the people who put him in office.
One word describes these two: Cowards.
