Cravaack reverses course, will now hold Duluth town hall
From MPR's Bill Catlin and Dan Kraker...
Amid mounting pressure, 8th District GOP congressman Chip Cravaack has announced he will hold an open town hall meeting at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Duluth airport.
Cravaack has taken flack from constituents and in national publications for the meetings he's held during the August recess. The only free, open-to-all meetings were held only in relatively remote places, that are long drives from Duluth, the district's population and media center. Cravaack made the announcement to protesters outside a meeting sponsored by a business organization that was charging attendees a $10 fee for lunch.
