Rep. Donnelly's Town Hall in Delphi

Democratic Representative Joe Donnelly's town hall on health care apparently went pretty well. It attracted more than could be accommodated in the library (about 200) and was moved to the firehouse next door. Evidently the discussion was generallycivil and, unlike some town halls, both sides appeared to be represented. The Journal and Courier quoted Mercedes Brugh of Logansport: "I know Congressman Donnelly is ... more conservative than a lot of the other Democrats, but I want to encourage him to support insurance reform." It also reported applause when one speaker said she would be prepared to pay higher taxes if it meant that everyone got health insurance. And there was the other side, which you can read about here and from WLFI here. You can see video coverage from WLFI below.
