It got me thinking,
I was wondering why they couldn't use zoom or something to have their meetings and reviews, like the rest of us are doing, or conduct business from a distance one room end to the other.

Not saying this from a personal, get my appeal done, but just in general was wondering how govt officials in local towns are operating to keep business going. Marine Patrol and other groups are still conducting modified business
I can't speak to government officials or all states, but MA and NH teachers are very much using remote connections to both meet with colleagues/administrators and students. It's brutal sometimes—like virtually herding cats—but we think it's essential to provide routine, continuity, and connection.

I would think government officials could do the same.
