Live, in-the-flesh politicians still beat modern technology
KAMLOOPS — Modern technology is a wonderful thing but I think sometimes we’re anxious to use it just because it’s there.
Coun. Arjun Singh raised the idea this past week of allowing council members to vote via video conferencing when they can’t make it to a meeting.
Singh, who will have to miss a couple of council meetings early next year for Union of B.C. Municipalities business including a trip to Cambodia, wanted to give it a whirl. Under the proposal, up to two people would be allowed to participate in up to two meetings a year via a remote connection with an iPad and Facetime.
