State representatives in Washtenaw County are holding town hall forums this week to discuss issues on the minds of residents.

Rep. Donna Lasinski, D-Scio Township, is hosting a "This is Your House" town hall from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, April 13, at Scio Township Hall, 827 N. Zeeb Road.

Lasinski is expected to be joined by Reps. Adam Zemke, D-Ann Arbor; Yousef Rabhi, D-Ann Arbor; and Ronnie Peterson, D-Ypsilanti Township.

It's an opportunity for residents to voice their concerns and ask questions about issues facing their community and the state.

Lasinski, Rabhi and Zemke also participated in a town hall meeting with U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell on Sunday, April 9.

Dingell and Peterson have separately announced plans for a town hall with the Minister's Alliance of Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor and Vicinity from 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, at Ypsilanti High School, 2095 Packard St., in Ypsilanti Township. They will be joined by Marianne Udow-Phillips, executive director of the Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation, to discuss what potential changes to the ACA could mean for Michigan families.

The town hall comes as the White House and Republican leadership in the U.S. House have signaled their intention to revive efforts to repeal the ACA.

Peterson said he was honored to welcome Dingell to the district last month for a community forum about potential ACA changes. Lasinski, Rabhi and Zemke also were in attendance, along with other health care experts.

Peterson said the meeting attracted more than 400 residents and shed light on a complex issue, and now he's welcoming Dingell back for a second forum.
