This city councilman attended the committe's meeting from his hot tub

Martin Long

Many of us are getting a bit more casual at work meetings because we’re attending them via video conference from home. Then there’s North Oaks, Minnesota, city council member Martin Long, who recently attended a council meeting from his hot tub. About an hour into the April 9 teleconferenced council meeting, the camera on Long starts to move, and it’s apparent that he’s gone outside. He sits down somewhere outside of his house and after a few minutes, he disappears briefly and then reappears and his polo shirt is gone. For a few minutes, the small window showing Long reveals his bare shoulders. A little later, he puts his shirt back on. Then after he’s recognized to speak by the town’s mayor, Long has trouble unmuting his microphone. He finally says, “I’m trying. My fingers are wet. I’m in the hot tub.” He then holds up a pair of goggles and a toy boat!
