Mark Kirk Healthcare Town Hall in 1 hour

[LSK]

As the battle over President Obama's health care reform plan continues to roil, U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk today will hold the Northwest suburbs' first town hall discussion of the controversial proposal.

Kirk, a Highland Park Republican who is running for Senate in 2010, has been an outspoken critic of the plan and has championed a GOP alternative. Both concepts will be on the agenda when he meets with residents at 3 p.m. at Arlington Heights' village hall, 33 S. Arlington Heights Road.

The meeting is expected to last about two hours and will be open to the public. Kirk expects a large audience because few of the Chicago area's Congressional representatives - and neither of its senators - are holding such meetings.
