Not surprisingly, crowds were reportedly big, and not 100 percent receptive, for U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s town hall meetings in four area communities, including Oak Creek, on Thursday.
Check out coverage from the Journal Sentinel and Oak Creek Patch. From Patch:
An overflow crowd listened to U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan lay out his plan to fix the country’s financial problems in an Oak Creek town hall Thursday afternoon.
Ryan spoke in the municipal courtroom at the Oak Creek Police Department, a space which turned out not to be big enough to accommodate the huge crowd that showed up.
Many people were turned away at the door, and police eventually closed the driveway to the station. Others stood in the hallway outside the courtroom and struggled to hear what the Congressman said.
Ryan has held several town halls in the last few days, and some were moved to bigger venues because of the crowds.
The largely-elderly crowd seemed mostly friendly toward Ryan. Many gave him a standing ovation when the meeting was over, though there were scattered boos, as well.
