Kessler Reschedules Town Meeting to May 16 in Boyertown

BOYERTOWN – State Rep. David Kessler has rescheduled his monthly town meeting for May. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, May 16 at the Boyertown Borough Hall, 100 S. Washington St.

The change will allow Kessler to participate in a May 8 meeting in Lancaster with homeowners from Berks County and nearby areas who have been affected by the bankruptcy of the Personal Financial Management firm formerly headed by Wesley Snyder.

Dates and locations for future town meetings can be obtained from Kessler's offices or by signing up for free e-mail updates through his Web site: www.pahouse.com/kessler.

Kessler’s offices help constituents with a wide range of state services, such as vehicle registrations and driver’s license renewals, applications for copies of birth or death certificates, financial aid for higher education, unemployment compensation, and PACE prescription-drug cards for seniors and the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program, both of which are funded by the state lottery, not tax dollars.
