US Senator Jerry Moran’s county-by-county listening tour brings him to Independence.  The Manhattan Republican says the town halls are a chance for him to hear from his constituents. Economic development and trade were among the key points discussed. Veteran’s issues, Amtrak expansion, and funding for public libraries were some of the topics those attending had on their minds.  

After his stop in Independence, Senator Moran was off to Neodesha for a similar town hall meeting for Wilson County.
