QUINCY — Village of Quincy residents had an opportunity to talk with Rep. Tim Walberg (R) Monday morning at the village hall for coffee hour. He opened the hour with with discussion on Benghazi, the debt ceiling issue, and the signing of a spending plan that has "enabled us to reduce the deficit."

He also talked about communities working to grow the economy, and not Washington.

"Grow the economy, pay down the debt." Walberg said.

He also spoke of a limited government, and free people.

"Limited government has always worked," Walberg explained.

He also covered topics on regulatory costs and the Iran vote.

Rep. Walberg then opened the conversation to take questions from the constituents. There were about 15 people present.

Walberg answered questions on the EPA, drones, Medicare benefit increases, gas prices Keystone pipeline, Medicare fraud, and veteran care. President Obama has said no to Keystone, and Hillary Clinton does not support it either.

There are hearings and investigations ongoing regarding Medicare fraud, and regarding veteran care. Walberg said that they are working toward veterans being able to go anywhere for care, and not having to go only to the VA hospital.

"This will be a process we move towards," Walberg said.

He answered questions on executive orders and voting issues before concluding by saying, "It comes down to 'we the people' saying we have had enough. America is going through tough times, in the end we have to work together."
