HARRISBURG – State Senators Sean Logan (D-45), Lisa Baker (R-20)
and Mike Folmer (R-48) will be hosting listening sessions in their districts
next week for their colleagues on the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs
Committee, Committee Chairman Senator Mike Brubaker (R-36) said today.
The sessions are part of the Building a Vision for Rural
Pennsylvania series to help Committee members identify the concerns and
priorities of the agriculture and rural communities for the 2007-2008

"It is critical that we hear from citizens across the entire
Commonwealth so that we can build a comprehensive agenda for our Committee,"
Brubaker said. "Our first two sessions in Philadelphia and Ephrata were very
productive and we have heard a variety of perspectives.
"I want to thank my colleagues for being willing to host
sessions so we can continue gathering valuable information, and I encourage
anyone who would like to share their thoughts to attend future sessions,"
Brubaker said.
Anyone who would like to attend and/or speak at one of these
