I had the privilege of hearing Congressman Jim Ramstad address the Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary Club this morning. I am a member of that Rotary Club. Congressman Ramstad gave our club a general update on issues he is working on in Congress on behalf of the 3rd District. Congressman Ramstad recognizes himself as a moderate, which seems to me to be quite representative of the voters of the 3rd District. It must be, because he wins his congressional elections handily every two years. He is a strong candidate in this district.
Congressman Ramstad is back in the district all week this week. Instead of resting and relaxing during the congressional break, he is making presentations at service clubs, meeting with high school students, and doing a series of Town Meetings. Tomorrow night, Wednesday, April 12, he will be hosting a Town Meeting in the Eden Prairie Council Chambers starting at 7:00 p.m. We're happy to host his Town Meeting and look forward to quite an audience.
Speaking of Town Meetings, the Eden Prairie City Council will be hosting its own Town Meeting tonight starting at 7:00 p.m. at Forest Hills Elementary School. This is the first Town Meeting hosted by this particular City Council. The Council will have another Town Meeting in late November. It's an experiment. City government is interested in hearing comments and ideas from our residents. We're going to give this idea a try and see how it goes.
