veep thrills | The nation’s vice president chose not to wear a face mask during a visit to a facility recently, claiming he wants to look into the eyes of the people he’s talking with. We’re head scratching on that rationale, but he’d have been in his world at last night’s borough council meeting. In the livestreaming of the meeting, it appears nobody was masked. The absence of masks was observed by several remote viewers who made comments. All the councillors , except Pamela Williams, attended in person. She, the mayor and the borough’s legal counselor attended by telephone. We’re still struggling to understand why Columbia resists video conferencing (which can be livestreamed as well) as other municipalities and school district board of directors do.

but that’s not all | In conversations with people around the area, we discovered that one person’s deceased (for more than a year) mother received a check. We discovered that several agencies around the state received funding far in excess of their wildest dreams. We’ve been told that agencies were instructed to prepare (in less than two days) a one page document expressing how CARE Act funds might be used. And then the Eagle shit beyond their wildest expectations. Now some of those recipients are asking stakeholders how to spend the money. SMH, again.
