Town hall to highlight clean energy this afternoon

Numerous town halls, roundtables, forums, and shouting matches have taken place across the state over the last month. POTUS radio even refers to last month as Angry August. As Congress settles in post-Labor Day, events will continue around the state, beginning with a town hall tonight focusing on green jobs in Arkansas. It'll begin at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon, and it'll take place in Grand Hall B at Pulaski Tech in North Little Rock. From the release:

Arkansas workers and their families have been hit hard by the economic downturn, but we can create good jobs with good wages right here in Arkansas, by investing in a clean energy economy. According to the Center for American Progress, transitioning to a clean energy economy will create more than 18,000 jobs here in Arkansas while reducing harmful carbon pollution and breaking our dependence on foreign oil.
