I just got this E-mail from the Mayor’s office announcing Senator Kerry’s upcoming office hours in Northampton City Council Chambers. Now don’t get too excited because it looks like it’s not Uncle Kerry himself but members of his staff. Still, it’s a great opportunity.
From the E-mail:
Senator John Kerry today announced that members of his staff will hold office hours in Northampton on Thursday, November 19th. The office hours will be held from 1:00pm – 2:00pm at the Northampton Municipal Building, located at 210 Main Street.
“…I want to make sure that we are helping everyone we can in any way we can whether it’s answering questions, helping them navigate the system, or showing them all the options available if they need help. It is more important than ever that everyone from Pittsfield to Provincetown knows that assistance is available,” said Senator Kerry.
…In many cases, Kerry’s staff may be able to expedite the bureaucratic process and bring attention to individual cases that may have fallen through the cracks. Staff will also be available to discuss federal legislation and important local issues and concerns.
Okay, it’s me again. You don’t have to act like you’re listening intently anymore. Here’s the MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE E-MAIL: No appointment is necessary.
Seeing as the Office Hours are really an Office Hour (that government sure does take a bite), you may want to get there ahead of time to make sure you get in for your chat.
