HILLSDALE, Ill -To accommodate working families with busy schedules who may have questions about state programs or suggestions for legislation , state Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale, is offering working families evening appointments at his district office.
"Being accessible to my constituents is a priority for me, and I want all families to have the opportunity to share their thoughts on state government and access the state resources available through this office," Smiddy said. "Often, working families have many commitments that may prevent them from meeting during business hours, and I want the services of my office to available to all of my constituents."
Currently Smiddy's district office, located at 201 N. Main St., Unit 2 in Port Byron, is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and walk-ins are welcome during this time.

"My office can be a resource to many people, and I hope the addition of these evening appointments will help make that resource more accessible to residents," Smiddy said. "I want everyone to know where to turn for help navigating the red tape of state bureaucracy and to find out about helpful state and local programs."
