McCaskill to host Fulton town hall meeting
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., will host a town hall meeting at William Woods University in Fulton today from 1-2 p.m. to talk to voters about the federal deficit and the economic downturn. McCaskill, who is not up for re-election until 2012, will speak at Aldridge Lounge about ways to control federal spending.
McCaskill has come out aggressively against increased federal expenditures, especially since the beginning of the recession, calling for rules to cap discretionary spending, cut earmark projects and implement "pay-as-you-go" rules for new tax cuts or spending.
