Herger Health Care Hearing Relocated

A Redding town hall meeting on the health care system that Rep. Wally Herger is hosting on Tuesday has been moved to a bigger venue.

The 7 p.m. town hall now will be at Simpson University’s gymnasium. It had been planned for the county supervisors’ chambers, but early public interest led Herger’s office to make the move.

Herger, a Republican, plans a similar town hall in Chico for 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Neighborhood Church on Notre Dame Boulevard.

Similar town halls across the country have drawn large, vociferous crowds. Some Redding groups, both liberal and conservative, are using the Internet to mobilize their troops for Tuesday’s town hall meeting, so it could turn out to be quite the cockfight.
