America’s $16 Trillion Debt: Congressman Wants to Hear From You

Westchase residents who have always wanted to have a say in how America spends its money will get the chance Wednesday, April 3.

U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Palm Harbor, is inviting residents who are willing to drive a short distance to take part in an interactive budget workshop from 6 to 8 p.m. at Rasmussen College, 18600 Fernview St. in Land O’ Lakes.

Bilirakis has been publicizing the upcoming meeting on his House website and also through automated calls that went out to local homes in the last few days.

Bilirakis represents District 12 in Congress. That district includes Westchase.

“During the forum, we will break into small groups and look at ways to reduce our nation’s $16 trillion debt and improve the long-term economic future for our families and businesses,” an announcement on the Bilirakis website reads.

To RSVP for the workshop, just call 727-232-2921 or email FL12.RSVP@mail.house.gov.
