Governor Little to host town hall Tuesday
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - Idaho continues to set records for new coronavirus cases, and Idahoans have more questions than ever regarding the current situation.
The Idaho state office of AARP will host another telephone town hall featuring special guests Idaho Governor Brad Little and Director of Health and Welfare Dave Jeppesen.
The discussion will focus on the latest news and information related to the ongoing pandemic.
“From unemployment benefits, mask mandates, testing procedures, school closures and every other disruption the coronavirus has caused, it’s important to hold elected officials accountable,” said Wissel. “These tele-town halls accomplish that and I encourage Idahoans to call and make their voices heard.”
The hour-long conversation begins Tuesday, August 4 at noon (MDT).
