Town Hall Tour
Governor Patrick's 2008 Summer Town Hall Meeting Tour
Keeping to his commitment to encourage civic engagement and to be Governor of the whole Commonwealth, Governor Deval Patrick embarked on a town hall-style meeting tour across Massachusetts.
The meetings were open to the public, giving residents a chance to talk directly to Governor Patrick about issues they care about most such as education reform, health care and the economy. Governor Patrick also assembled his full Cabinet for four meetings in different regions of Massachusetts, giving the public more opportunities to ask questions and raise important matters in their communities.
