About 170 inside the Muncie City Hall Auditorium for Spartz visit
U.S. Rep. Spartz thanked a group of about 170 inside the Muncie City Hall Auditorium for coming out, and said balancing the budget is among the nation’s greatest concerns. One person was removed in the early going of the Town Hall, and the 5th District Congresswoman’s event Saturday afternoon often was contentious.
An apology was posted on social media, shortly after the Saturday Town Hall conducted by 5th District Congresswoman Victoria Spartz, held at Muncie City Hall Auditorium, which read in part: “I have personally apologized to U.S. Rep. Spartz for the local left’s disruptive, disrespectful, and immoral behavior. Shouting down an elected official is unacceptable and goes against the principles of civil discourse and Hoosier hospitality. More and more residents are realizing that today’s Democratic Party is not the same as it once was. We invite the people of Delaware County to join our local Republican Party, which stands for common sense values and respectful dialogue.”
The words of Tim Overton – Delaware County Republican Chairman. One attendee was removed by police, but was not arrested according to MPD Chief Nathan Sloan.
After the event, Spartz stopped at Cammack Station for a visit, and was seen at an area Legion Club to visit with Vets and commemorate Vietnam Veterans Memorial Day.
