The Indiana University East Alumni Association and the Student Democracy Project will host a Legislative Forum from 8-9 a.m. on Friday, February 24, in the Graf Center in Springwood Hall.  The Legislative Forum allows the community an in-person discussion with state legislators who represent Wayne County.

The forums are free and open to the public. Scheduled to attend are Senator Allen Paul and Representatives Phil Pflum and Tom Saunders.

Each elected official will have an opportunity to give opening remarks on the 2012 short session of the Indiana General Assembly and any legislation of interest.  The forum will then be opened for a question-and-answer period with the audience, moderated by Dale McConnaughay, Viewpoints/Community Conversation Editor at the Palladium-Item.
