Interfaith group to hold town hall meeting

Toledo/Sylvania Interfaith Friends, a community group devoted to ensuring that a diversity of voices is heard in District 5, will hold a town hall to hear citizens’ concerns about transparency, immigration, increasing marginalization of minority groups and women, healthcare, and Russian interference in the election, Tuesday, Feb. 21 from 7 to 8:30p.m. at at the Toledo Muslim Community Center, 5045 W. Sylvania Ave. in Toledo.

The group invited T.S. Rep. Bob Latta to attend and received a response that he is unavailable, and none of his staff offered to attend. The town hall, which will take place without Latta as a way to elevate constituents’ concerns, comes during the weeklong congressional recess, when many members of Congress are taking the time to meet directly with their constituents.
