Rep. Doug Reichley (R-Berks/Lehigh) will hold four town meetings from Oct. 1 through 10 at different locations throughout the 134th District.

From Reichley's announcement:

"It has been an unusual year in the Capitol with a partial budget enacted and questions still remaining about when many essential government programs and schools will receive state funding," said Reichley, vice chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

"I hope we have a budget in place before these town meetings, but at this point, with Democrats pressing for 'recurring revenue' and Republicans insisting on budget cuts and no new taxes, the budget may not be resolved in a month."

Four town meetings are scheduled around the 134th Legislative District. Residents of the district who want to attend can choose from the following locations:

Thursday, Oct. 1

7 to 8:30 p.m.
