Congressman Tom Petri is in the middle of his latest round of town meetings in cities and towns across the 6th Congressional District. He says the participants in his meetings are angry about the economy.
"People are quite concerned about the economic crisis that we're in, and a number of ramifications concerning it," he said. "The expensive bailouts for Wall Street have many people up in arms. Bonuses for people that are being bailed out is something that people are demanding an explanation for, and of course, concern about high health care costs and a number of other problems as well."
