Rep. Owlett to Hold Telephone Town Hall Meeting

Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford) is inviting residents of the 68th Legislative District to join him for a telephone town hall meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m. to discuss a variety of state and local issues. A telephone town hall meeting works very much like a traditional town hall meeting, but it allows many more people to participate because they can do so from the comfort of their own homes. Calls inviting people to participate will start going out about five minutes before the telephone town hall meeting is to begin. Participants can simply stay on the line to listen, or press *3 if they’d like to make a comment or ask a question. People who miss the call or don’t receive one are invited to call in, toll-free, at 1-877-229-8493 and then enter the code 118374.

Clear Snow From Vehicles

As winter weather returns, local law enforcement is urging drivers to clear snow from their vehicles before driving. Leaving snow or ice on your car can reduce your visibility, which creates a dangerous situation for other drivers. The license plate and front and back lights should also be visible for other drivers to see on the road.
