LANSING, Mich. — Due to Senate session going long, Sen. Mark Huizenga announced that his Thursday evening town hall meeting in Cascade Township has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a future date.
“Regrettably, I am unable to participate in our town hall meeting due to Senate session going into the evening. As a result, we’ve decided to postpone the event and will reschedule it for a later date,” said Huizenga, R-Walker. “This town hall was put together as an opportunity to talk with West Michigan families about their goals and concerns and what we need to do to improve our state. That is still important, and members of my staff will be available at the meeting location for constituents who show up and have any questions.”
The town hall meeting was scheduled to take place on Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Wisner Center inside the Cascade branch of the Kent District Library.

CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- West Michigan State Senator Mark Huizenga will host a community town hall meeting Thursday night at the Cascade Township branch of the Kent District Library.
It will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the library's Wisner Center on Jacksmith Avenue.
The 30th District Republican represents the northern half of the City of Grand Rapids, plus the cities of Walker, Coopersville, Rockford, and several townships in Kent and Ottawa counties.
Huizenga's director of communications, Joshua Volk, tells WOOD Radio that Huizenga will be discussing some of the legislation he's been working on and helped enact.
"Also, he'll be taking comments and questions from people - some have already been emailed in - but just different questions that people have in regards to the state government and what they see, or what they'd like to see."
