Stakoe plans coffee hours

State Rep. John Stakoe has announced that he will sponsor regular coffee hours with state Sen. Mike Bishop beginning this week.
The informal get-togethers will take place the first Friday of each month, beginning from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday, May 2, at the Old Village Cafe, 2 S. Main Street in downtown Clarkston.
‘The involvement of residents is vital to our system of government,? said Stakoe (R-Highland Township). ‘I welcome the opportunity to hear from people at any time. Knowing how busy people are, I want to offer as many occasions as possible for people to share their ideas and concerns with state government.?
Residents unable to meet Stakoe during the scheduled hours may contact his Lansing office to make an appointment by calling toll-free at (866) 334-0010 or by e-mail to johnstakoe@house.mi.gov.
