( marty ) a town hall meeting in san jose gave residents the chance to talk to elected officials. kron-four's jeff pierce has the details. town hall meetings by elected officials throughout the country have been beset by loud voices concerned about national issues. but on saturday a town hall meeting in san jose provided contrast to those boistrous voices as mayor sam licardo and congressman ro khanna addressed a civil audience that wanted answers to issues that are subject to the current administration in washingto ,issues like health care.would you please stop calling it obama care and go back to the affordable care act. because to me obama care

then people start calling it trump care then ryan care.if we have medicare for all or at least a public option you would see premiums go down in this country you would see better coverage we know what the solution is we need to have the political will to get there.transportation issues like extending bart.i'm absolutely committed that berryessa will not be the end point to this bart line. we've got to build it through to east san jose down to santa clara street. we've got to do everything to make sure the federal money is there.the contestious issue of immigration was part of the conversation.major cities throughout the country recognize that it is not sensible to have local police enforcing federal laws including immigration laws. while all those issues are affected by what the federal government does or does not due it was civil discussion in forums like these that ultimately make for change in the community.being able to do things like this i think provides a great antidote to

what's happening is washington. all politics is local and that's why i come to these.in contrast to the rancor and divisiveness that we see in washington d.c. we really have a city that is increasingly united in how to tackle our biggest challenges.in san jose jeff pierce kron four news.
