Logan County Board member Pat O'Neill has been hosting town hall meetings this month. O'Neill feels it is important to hear what's important to people so that he can vote accordingly. He invited all city, county and local state representatives to attend as well. Tonight's session, set for 6 o'clock at Chester-East Lincoln, will be the third and last meeting.
