On Monday, November 7th , Don (the Godfather) Jenacova and I hosted a Q & A meeting with Congressman Tom Price at Panera Bread near the Loop on Upper Roswell Road.  We had sixty people attend, the outer limit of what we hoped for in order to keep it manageable.  The format was for Tom to take five minutes to provide his overview of the problems our nation faces and what he is trying to do about it.  After that the meeting was turned over to the very eclectic audience.  Questions were drawn from a hat of those who submitted their names.  Most  got their question asked.  There were no softballs.  Tom handled some tough questions respectfully, and while not everyone agreed with him, I think it’s safe to say that all were pleased with his effort to address the issues.  This format allowed for the voters to decide what is important, and to put their elected representative’s feet to the fire.  It also alerted Tom to some things that are bothering his constituents, and I suspect that he may have been surprised by some of the questions.
