Steve Womack hearing from constituents, sounds a little grouchy
U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, who has a reputation for getting out of sorts when challenged at public meetings, is getting some sharp questioning at a session he scheduled this morning at the West Fork City Hall, according to notes I've received.
He reportedly told the crowd of about 200 that jammed the small space that he wished they could be more cheerful.
I'm hoping to see some phone video before long.
A report on Twitter said Womack wouldn't take the meeting outside so all who'd tried to attend could hear what he had to say. His emphasis on deficit reduction didn't sit well with at least one attendee interested in preserving benefits under the Affordable Care Act. (Though it is not a drag on the budget.)
