Senate hopeful to stump in Fayetteville State Rep. Bob Irvin of north Fulton County, a Republican who hopes to unseat U.S. Sen. Max Cleland in the 2002 elections, will have a town hall meeting in Fayetteville Thursday at the Golden Age Home at 795 East Lanier Ave. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. in the home's health care training room. Irvin said he plans to "listen to citizens' concerns, answer their questions, and hear what they want their U.S. senator to do." After a short introduction, Irvin said, he'll throw the meeting open to questions and informal discussion. "I believe people want straight talk, in person, and I am campaigning that way," he said. Irvin has served 14 years in the state House of Representatives, including six as Republican leader. His campaign Web site is www.BobIrvin.com. What do you think of this story?
