Set for June 8 at Mahopac High School
Rep. Mike Lawler, whose House district includes Philipstown, has scheduled the third of four town halls for Sunday (June 8) at Mahopac High School.
As of Tuesday (June 3), the event was full. Lawler previously hosted town halls in Rockland and Westchester counties. He has said he also will host an event in Dutchess County.
In the list of conditions for ticket requests, Lawler’s office writes: “Unfortunately, due to security concerns and threats made against the congressman, his family and our staff, there will be additional security measures put in place to ensure everyone’s safety…. If our office has information indicating that you are actively planning to disrupt the Town Hall, or if you have disrupted prior Town Halls, you may be denied entry.”
According to the other terms, attendees may be asked to provide proof of residency in District 17; no bags, signs, noisemakers, bullhorns, megaphones or face coverings will be allowed; questions can only be asked by the person whose ticket is called and must be limited to 30 seconds; and except for members of the press, no flash photography or audio or video recording will be allowed.
