State Senator Wes Hayes will be holding a public meeting on Monday, February 8, 2010 at 7:00 PM at McCelvey Center, 212 E. Jefferson Street in York. This is always a very informative and casual meeting and a good time to find out what is going on in Columbia from one of the best Senators in the State.
