Town Hall Meeting: "Crossing the Aisle - Bipartisanship May Be The Only Answer"The League's Program Committee, in an important election year, has arranged to cosponsor with the Grosse Pointe War Memorial a Town Hall Meeting. The traditional Town Meeting in New England was held once a year so the town's policies and concerns were set before the citizens. Town hall meetings today have adapted to addressing and informing citizens on a more expanded agenda. The League's Town Hall Meeting entitled "Crossing the Aisle - Bipartisanship May Be The Only Answer" will be moderated by John Mogk, a law professor at Wayne State University, with panelists Prof. Conley Worsham, a political science professor at WCCC, and Sister Barbara Beesley IHM professor at Marygrove College. A representative from the business community will be announced at a later date.
