During the meeting Peck will review recently passed legislation and discuss legislation still being worked on, including the state budget. He will then ask for input and questions from those in attendance. Peck says, “The Kansas Legislature has 15 legislative days remaining and there are several important pieces of legislation that still need to be passed, including a reasonable state budget. It is important, now more than ever, that I hear from Montgomery County residents with their ideas and suggestions.”

Peck and his colleagues in the Legislature will be back in the State Capitol on April 28^th, where they will reconvene for their annual wrap-up session.
