Amid mounting pressure, 8th District GOP Rep. Chip Cravaack has announced he will hold an open town hall meeting at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Duluth airport.

Cravaack has taken flack from constituents and in national publications for the meetings he's held during the August recess. The only free, open-to-all meetings were held only in relatively remote places that are long drives from Duluth, the district's population and media center.

Cravaack made the announcement to protesters outside a meeting sponsored by a business organization that was charging attendees a $10 fee for lunch.
