Congressman Steven LaTourette talked about what Congress is doing to curb its own spending Friday in Mentor.

LaTourette discussed how national politics affects local issues Friday with members of the Mentor Area Chamber of Commerce at Seeker's Coffee House in Mentor.

LaTourette is the representative for Ohio's 14th district, which includes Mentor, in the U.S. House of Representatives.

All week, we'll be showing video from discussion as LaTourette addressed questions from Mentor residents and business owners.
