This week sees the end of February and the beginning of March. The good news is it's no longer dark at 5:00 p.m. The better news is that we are just two weeks away from the return of daylight saving time returns. In the meantime, here is what's happening.

Why are so many of these meetings Microsoft Teams or Zoom? Is it a throwback to CoVid? I can't imagine that. Or is it just to have some way to get more people involved?
ReplyDeleteWowser, it’s easier for special interest groups in NJ to attend remotely.
DeleteWhy do you even question this, Wowser? COVID is still around, we're having a very bad flu season, and there's no telling how the situation with avian flu might develop. Besides, making meetings more accessible is always a good thing in a democracy.
DeleteThe world has changed over the years. Many people have meetings and work obligations that require some travel. The vast majority of these people pay taxes too and care what they come home to. Give them access, please, and be fair.
