State Representative Tom McMillin's Non-Town Hall Town Hall Meeting

This Blog will cover local political issues in Rochester and Rochester Hills and from time to time national political issues.

Republican State Representative Tom McMillin sent out a robocall inviting constituents to a town hall meeting at a local McDonalds in Rochester Hills.

Only two people showed up, myself and a woman by the name of Iris.  Iris’ concern was global climate change and how Rep. McMillin felt about the fact that most scientists say the this is a phenomenon caused by humans.  McMillin completely denied that global climate change is caused by humans and what we are experiencing now is just a normal cooling and heating cycle of the Earth.

McMillin also denied the fact that converting to clean, renewable energy would create jobs.

After Iris left, it was my turn to ask McMillin questions.  However, McMillin said he would not answer my questions and completely ignored me as I asked him questions.  McMillin is used to only having adoring fans coming to his town hall meetings and has now turned to the tactic of refusing to answer questions from someone that may disagree with him.
