DEERFIELD BEACH — About 400 people turned out for new U.S. Rep. Allen West’s first town hall meeting Thursday night and gave the Republican lawmaker a standing ovation.

West presented an array of graphics illustrating the nation’s fiscal problems and said “We cannot continue to let big three entitlement programs – Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – run on autopilot.”
