QOTD — When Was the Last Time One of Our Congressional Delegation Had a Town Hall Meeting?
I see that our Congressional delegation is having another Job Fair (see details below) — which is very cool and certainly people who need jobs could use every bit of help they can get. But when I saw this item in a recent press release from Senator Coons’ office (an item I passed on to folks I know are looking), I couldn’t remember the last Town Hall from these guys. This is particularly odd since the August recess wasn’t too far back. I think that John Carney has had a forum on college costs, but that is all I can remember.
So help me out here. Have you heard of or participated in a Town Hall with Carper, Coons or Carney recently? And do you think they should have more in person opportunities to talk with constituents?

My understanding is that Carper does not have town halls, but he does have telephone town halls, though the last one was in June 2012.
After seeing how their brother Mike Castle lost control of his town hall meeting down in Sussex County, I would advise all national candidates to drop town halls from their agendas….
