McCollum to host Jobs Town Hall

DFL Rep. Betty McCollum will hold a town hall next Tuesday that will focus on jobs and the economy. McCollum's office says McCollum will also push to pass President Obama's jobs bill.

McCollum's office also said several union members will also be on hand to discuss the importance of the bill.

Republicans have criticized the bill as a "second stimulus" and say they're focused more on reduding the deficit.

Here's the info from McCollum's office:
