Petruccelli and Basile to hold series of Community Forums in East Boston

SENATOR PETRUCCELLI & REPRESENTIVE BASILE ANNOUNCE SERIES OF COMMUNITY FORUMS BEFORE CIVIC GROUPS IN EAST BOSTON.
State Senator Anthony Petruccelli and State Representative Carlo Basile announced that they will attend a series of community forums and visit neighborhood groups in East Boston to discuss state issues, legislation and to listen to the concerns of residents.

“This is something I do throughout my entire district,” said Senator Petruccelli. “I want to keep my constituents apprised of what is going on in the state legislature and to hear their concerns. There are several big issues affecting East Boston and I think it is important to get out to the neighborhood meetings and have a frank discussion about them.”

Senator Petruccelli and Representative Basile will visit:

  • The Eagle Hill Civic Association on Wednesday, March 31, at East Boston High School; 
  • The Jeffries Point Neighborhood Association on Monday, April 12, at the Jeffries Point Yacht Club; 
  • and the Orient Heights Neighborhood Association on Monday, April 26, at the Don Orione. 

All meetings will begin at 7:00 PM.

“Last year, Senator Petruccelli and I hosted a town hall forum at East Boston High School, and this year we thought it would be beneficial to visit each of the neighborhood groups individually. We hope to have a more intimate and open conversation about what is happening on Beacon Hill and what is on the minds of our friends and neighbors” said Representative Basile.
