Rush Holt Town Hall Meeting In Middletown Last Night.

I attended Rush Holt's town hall meeting last night at the Middletown Cultural Arts Center. I arrived shortly after 5 pm to make sure I would be able to get into the building.

It was a lively but respectful crowd outside the building that grew in numbers as the time for the meeting approached.

Shortly after settling down inside an argument broke out between a few attendees and needed to broken up by police, to the credit of Middletown police, they calmed down the situation and allowed the people to stay for the meeting.

My overall impression of the night was that it went rather well, it wasn't as loud or disrespectful as other town hall events throughout the country have been portrayed, hecklers and boo-birds had plenty of chances to express themselves however.

I am currently working on posting video of the event and hope to have it by the end of the day, I have over an hours worth of video and it takes a while to post. I'll add additional comments about last nights events after the video is ready.
