Just phoning it in
I always liked that phrase—"s/he just phoned it in"—as it relates to people who don’t put much effort into doing something. But here’s a different take on it when it comes to government meetings from the Daytona Beach News.
With Daytona Beach City Commissioner Charles Cherry suffering from both cancer and heart problems, the city manager thought he could participate in meetings by dialing in." Ormond Beach City Commissioner Scott Selis, who suffers from intermittent migraines, has suggested that his city adopt an ordinance that would allow local officials to participate in meetings electronically. Commissioners discussed Selis' proposal at their meeting Tuesday night…The Florida Legislature has given authority to members of governing boards of state agencies to attend public meetings, and even vote at meetings, using media technology…But the state's attorney general has issued opinions saying the authority does not extend to local governments."
Aw, have a heart, guys.
