Gov. Paul LePage’s office has announced his next town hall meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 26, will be televised.
The town hall will be televised at 8-9 p.m. on WVII Channel 7 from the station’s Bangor studio. A live video stream can be seen at www.foxbangor.com. There will be a live audience.
Questions for LePage can be submitted to tv7news@wvii.com.
LePage has been holding town hall meetings around the state to explain his priorities as governor. But he recently announced he will skip delivering a State of the State speech to a joint session of the Legislature.
Chief of Communications Peter Steele said the idea is for Mainers to hear directly from the governor about his vision for the state. Steele said the event is an expansion of the town hall forums and isn’t a substitute for the State of the State address.
At Tuesday’s event, LePage will appear before small studio audience. The governor’s office is working to invite a variety of people from the Bangor, including Democrats, Republicans and independents, said Brent Littlefield, a political adviser to LePage.
Reporters from other media outlets will not be permitted but they are invited to cover the event by watching the broadcast or online video.
