Better late than never:

Democratic Rep. Dina Titus will do this week what most Nevada lawmakers ably avoided during the long hot summer of Tea Party protests: She will host an open town hall forum on health care on Monday.

The freshmen congresswoman had publicly promised her constituents in August that she would return to her Southern Nevada district in fall with a full-fledged forum.

Titus is keeping good on her word with an event from 7-8 p.m. on Monday at Temple Ner Tamid, 55 North Valle Verde Drive in Henderson.

Yes, questions will be taken and answered.

Good for Rep. Titus for having the courage to face her constituents, unlike Sen. Reid and Sen. Ensign. This is democracy in action and a chance for those concerned about health care to have their voices heard.

I wonder if the crowd will look anything like this one.
