The Silver Spring Penguin

MoCo exec Ike Leggett (D) will hold a “virtual” town-hall meeting Thursday afternoon, giving techies an opportunity to IM the man in charge.

“This is just one more way to make sure everyone has a seat at the table and a voice in the outcome,” Leggett said in a press statement.

The live online chat runs for an hour starting at 12 noon on Oct 18. Participants can submit questions through the county’s website before or during the chat.

The chat can be accessed through the following URL:

The Penguin also will make a link available in the right column of this screen. Questions and answers will be available on the county’s site during and after the chat.
