Rep. Messmer answers questions following last weekend's protest
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Indiana's 8th Congressional District Representative Mark Messmer answers questions on Friday following a protest in downtown Evansville last weekend.
Hundreds of demonstrators rallied outside his field office last Saturday. Saving Congressman Messmer has not made himself available, they urged the congressman to host a town hall.
Some constituents also told our crew they were concerned over the future of Medicaid and Medicare. It's something that Congressman Messmer on Friday says he's working to protect.
'Everybody always thinks of the worst outcome possible when we're talking about making any type of adjustments to programs. But our goal and whatever reforms we do to any Medicaid-specific programs will be to make sure the programs are preserved for the people who truly need it.'
In Washington, Congressman Messmer says he's working on renewing the federal Farm Bill and worker protection issues.
