According to this Community News article:
For now, none of the three are holding public forums or town hall meetings before returning to the Capitol Sept. 8, according to their aides.
If you read further, all three pointedly note that they will meet with constituents (Rotary Clubs were mentioned by both Kaufman and Castle spokespeople) and will be available for individual meetings. Castle will still do his telephone town halls. But none of them seem to be on a track to hold a truly public meeting with their constituents.
These public forums or meetings don’t seem to be much of a habit here in Delaware for Congressional Delegation. I suspect that the reason is that it is easy enough to target and hit certain higher profile (and probably comfortable) groups here and still be able to claim that you’ve met with a good sample of constituents. I don’t think that this is an adequate approach — if you represent the public you should meet with them periodically.
So do you know of meetings that may be open to the public that any of our congressional delegation have planned for the month? I think that Paul Baumbach referenced a meeting that Senator Carper would attend (or has just been invited?) next week, what others have you heard of? Have any of you scheduled a meeting with any of these guys, or been invited to a telephone town hall?
