Scott's health care meeting Sat. relatively quiet

JONESBORO - U.S. Rep. David Scott fielded dozens of questions during a public meeting Saturday on health care reform.

About 600 people attended the meeting at Mundy's Mill High School in Jonesboro.

There were no major disruptions, but audience members sometimes tried to shout each other down.

A confrontation between the Democratic congressman and a health care provider at an Aug. 1 town hall meeting drew national attention after it appeared on YouTube.

He made headlines again a few days later when a swastika was found painted outside his Smyrna office Tuesday.

Scott said he requested security from Clayton County police and the sheriff's department.
