FLAGSTAFF — The chance of heavy rain or snow did not deter local residents of the opportunity to ask questions about the impact of recent federal funding cuts on local veterans during the U.S. Sen. Ruben Gallego’s Veteran Townhall held on Friday, April 18 at the American Legion Mark A. Moore Post 3 in downtown Flagstaff.
During the event, which drew upwards of 60 people, local veterans were able to ask what steps are being taken to protect local veterans who have lost their federal jobs or are seeing a reduction of veterans services due to federal program funding cuts.
Following the town hall, Gallego addressed a number of questions from local media include KAFF Country, AmigosNAZ and AzFamily.
