Mary Anne Dorner, 71, an Episcopal priest, said she and her husband decided to attend a town hall for the first time. Donna Bradley, 60, of New Port Richey, told Bilirakis that she appreciated his attentiveness, but wants him to do more. Bilirakis promised he will and announced he?ll be holding another town hall in a few weeks. Bilirakis didn?t outright dispute him, but explained that Akins was referring to the Independent Payment Advisory Board, a panel that issues recommendations for reducing Medicare?s cost. House Budget Chairwoman Diane Black was booed Thursday night at a contentious town hall in Tennessee; Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah complained that some protesters at his event in Salt Lake City Thursday may have been paid; and Representative Tom McClintock of California was evacuated by police from a town hall he held earlier this month when protesters turned unruly.
