Johnson cancels town hall scheduled tonight in Tolono
CHAMPAIGN – A town hall meeting featuring U.S. Rep. Tim Johnson, R-Urbana, scheduled for tonight at the Tolono Public Library has been canceled. Johnson's office said the congressman needed to remain in Washington, D.C., for the health care bill debate and vote. The meeting will be rescheduled.
Just thought I'd add this little bit of info in case anyone was looking up Aaron Schock, Tim Johnson, or John Shimkus here at the News Gazette. This little summary of their lack of conviction to their conservative principles was posted in a little article about them blocking the recovery while taking credit for its success (and applying for funds for their districts):
