36: Coronavirus Q&A

Local governments are stepping up to the challenges presented by the ongoing pandemic, and we were fortunate to have many officials and staff join us to share their coronavirus response questions. State Rep. Chris Welch reviewed the state's ongoing efforts to help local governments and businesses, while Keri-Lyn Krafthefer, Julie Tappendorf, and Matt DiCianni covered questions about managing employees, open meetings, essential services, and the other COVID-19 issues facing local governments.
