RUMFORD — Sen. John Patrick, D-Rumford, has reserved the Rumford Falls Auditorium from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 27, for a public forum to discuss Gov. Paul LePage’s budget proposal.

Patrick said Monday that he has gotten a good response from similar forums in Bethel and Lovell. He’ll be holding another in Livermore.

“These have been eye-opening for me,” he said, noting that he will be calling leaders in River Valley towns to encourage people to attend. “I’m hoping to have people from as many different towns as possible for this.”
