SEN. HARTLEY AND REP. BUTLER TO HOLD OFFICE HOURS
AT OIC IN WATERBURY ON MARCH 14TH

Hartford – Senator Joan Hartley (D-Waterbury) and Representative Larry Butler (D-Waterbury) have announced plans to hold office hours to provide constituents in Waterbury with an opportunity to meet with them to discuss the budget problems facing the state and a number of other state and local issues.

The office hours will be held Saturday, March 14th from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at the offices of Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) at 77 Bishop Street in Waterbury.

"I again look forward to meeting with my constituents in the 15th and 72nd districts," said Senator Hartley. "With the budget and economic problems facing our state, it is more crucial then ever before to receive direct input from our families and taxpayers."

"In order to do my job as a state representative, I need to hear from them," Representative Butler said. "These office hours give them a chance to meet in person to ask for help with problems they are having. They can also stop by to share their views and ideas on issues that matter to them."
