Governor here on Tuesday

Just in case you were confused about this, here's the press release I just got from the Governor's office, about his visit here on Tuesday:

GOVERNOR PATRICK TO HOST TOWN HALL MEETING IN NEWBURYPORT

BOSTON – Friday, July 17, 2009 – In keeping with his commitment to encourage civic engagement and to be the governor of the whole Commonwealth, Governor Deval Patrick will host a town hall meeting in Newburyport on Tuesday, July 21, 2009.

“As we work to overcome the challenges of today, it is important that the citizens of the Commonwealth are involved in the process,” said Governor Patrick. “I look forward to this opportunity to learn how state government can better serve its people.”

WHO: Governor Deval Patrick
WHAT: Town Hall Meeting
WHEN: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 at 6:30 p.m.
WHERE: Waterfront Park, Market Street, Newburyport

The Governor will host 15 town hall meetings this summer and he encourages all to come and share in the discussion. The meetings are part of Governor Patrick’s efforts to make state government accessible for all people in the Commonwealth. The town hall-style meetings give residents a chance to talk directly to Governor Patrick about issues they care about most, including the economy, the state’s budget challenges, and the Governor’s efforts to push for reforms on Beacon Hill.

I got an additional email asking me if I was going to be covering the event for my blog! It brought tears to my eyes.
