Torrisi to Hold Office Hours Tuesday

Residents of the 14th Essex District are invited to join State Representative David Torrisi at district office hours on Tuesday April 10th from 9:00 – 10:00 AM at the Office hours are an opportunity for people to meet directly with Representative Torrisi to discuss specific problems, legislative issues or any concerns about state government agencies. No appointment is necessary.

It is especially important for constituents to speak with their representative at this time of year. Governor Patrick released his FY 2013 budget last month and the House of Representatives will release their own version at the end of April. Legislators rely on input from the community to develop budget priorities and gauge the needs of the district.  “Over the years I have held many district office hours and always enjoy the opportunity to hear from my neighbors about the issues that concern them”, said Torrisi. “It’s been another busy term and we still have a number of important issues, including the budget, to tackle.”

In addition to the scheduled office hours, Rep. Torrisi is also available to residents if they would like to schedule an appointment for other days or times. “As always, anyone can call my State House office to discuss an issue or set up a meeting in the district.” Torrisi said he often meets with residents in his State House office or at locations throughout North Andover and Lawrence. Representative Torrisi can be reached at 617-722-2396.
