From 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, the League of Women Voters of La Plata County will hold its annual “Legislative Lowdown” at the Durango Public Library, 1900 East Second Ave.

State Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, and state Representative J. Paul Brown, R-Ignacio, will share the podium as they discuss highlights of the current legislative session, which convened Jan. 11. They will outline bills they are sponsoring, all of which are of special interest to us.

Our legislators hold committee positions in areas relevant to residents of La Plata County. Sen. Roberts serves on several committees: Senate Local Government, Health and Human Services, Judiciary, and Legislative Legal Services. She also currently serves on two interim panels: the Water Resources Review and the Legislative Health Benefit Exchange Implementation Review committees. Rep. Brown is a member of the House Agriculture, Natural Resources & Energy, Capital Development, Health & Environment, and Transportation committees.

After their informal presentations, you will have the opportunity to ask questions on topics that impact you.

Please join us for this informative event. As always, snacks will be served.
