Cong Roskam to constituents: "My Town Hall costs $35; tough luck poor people!"

I thought my Congressman Peter Roskam (IL, 6th) had much hubris to pocket $25,000 from the Chinese Culture University (or was it, contrary to federal law, the government of Taiwan?) to visit his daughter in Taiwan. But though the dollars are a bit smaller, he topped himself when agreeing to attend tomorrow's Naperville Chamber of Commerce event "Tax Reform Town Hall With Rep. Peter Roskam" that costs a cool $35 to gain entry. The Town Hall concept of legislators meeting with their constituents free of charge at a place and time convenient for the constituents has become a revered part of our participatory democracy. That concept, sadly, escapes Congressman Roskam who lends his name and his time to this "Play to Play" event open only to folks with "walking around money" and no work commitments for the middle of the work week. That pretty much excludes anyone with issue...s of tax fairness that Congressman Roskam might find an unpleasant inconvenience too answer.
:
The Congressman and the Chamber can't have it both ways. Either they waive the $35 fee ($10 to Chamber members) or they erase the words "Town Hall" from the Register link on their website: https://www.naperville.net/external/wcpages/wcevents/eventregistration.aspx?eventID=7T7E3F71

I've reached out to both Congressman Roskam and the Naperville Chamber of Commerce regarding this demand. Both need to do the right thing by Congressman Roskam's constituents, many of whom are suffering in our weak economy. While on the subject, one more suggestion: hold any "Town Halls" in the evening or weekends when working folk have a better chance of attending.
