State Rep. Ryan Berman of Commerce Township will host a town hall meeting with special guest Rep. Jack O’Malley of Lake Ann on Thursday, May 9 to discuss road funding in Michigan.

“We all know how bad Michigan roads are and that we need an affordable solution to fix them. This event is a great way for me to hear from even more people in our community and take ideas tailored to our district back with me to Lansing,” Rep. Berman said. “I encourage everyone to join me and share their thoughts on how we can make our state government better.”

Rep. O’Malley chairs the House Transportation Committee and is traveling to different parts of the state discussing road funding directly with local residents. Also participating in the panel will be Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) Managing Director Dennis Kolar, who has 32-plus years of experience in the road business at the county and state levels.

The town hall will take place at Commerce Township Community Library, 180 E. Commerce St. in Commerce Township. The event begins at 7 p.m., with an informal opportunity for residents to speak one-on-one with Rep. Berman or any of the invited guests. A panel discussion will take place from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., with time for questions from those in attendance.
