Phoning it in: Tahoe planning agency to allow teleconferencing
Whether it be for adverse weather conditions or medical reasons, members of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency governing board no longer have to be physically present at their monthly meetings to participate in discussions or cast a vote.
The board unanimously amended their code at their Incline Village meeting last week to allow members to participate in meetings over the phone.
The idea is not to overuse (the teleconferencing option), Legal Counsel Joanne Marchetta told the board at last weeks meeting. The idea is to only use it in those circumstances where we really need it.
With a majority of the 15-member governing board living outside of the Basin from San Francisco to Las Vegas driving over mountain passes to attend a meeting can be hazardous, agency officials said.
Brendan Nelson, Julie Bishop to offer slow retreat
They wanted to calm the party after electoral trauma and not to disturb too many people with radical, unsettling change. They wanted a Kim Beazley, not a Mark Latham. Nelson's task is the same as Beazley's after 1996 and he and Bishop will hasten snail-like on amending WorkChoices and climate change policies. Nelson astutely gave Malcolm Turnbull the shadow treasurer's job, to ensure that if he disturbs anyone, it will be Wayne Swan. The three match-ups we know of are interesting - Julia Gillard and Julie Bishop, the two deputies, on industrial relations, as well as Swan and Turnbull on the economy. The critical contest will be the third - between Kevin Rudd and Brendan Nelson - and there is little promise of fireworks. Despite the talk of revolution, both men will be incremental in their changes.
