Some of the issues expected to be addressed are the state budget, health care, tourism funding, labor and economic development issues, education funding, taxes and fiscal policies. Longtime community leader Gretchen Hammer serves as moderator for the forums. Following legislator updates, there will be time allotted at the end of each breakfast for questions from the public.
The breakfasts are held the last Monday of each month from January to May, from 8 to 9 a.m. Please mark your calendars for the 2017 dates of Feb. 27, March 27, April 24 and May 22. The chamber would like to thank Kingdom Access Television, WSTJ and the Caledonian-Record for covering the breakfasts.
