Rep. Ed Case on COVID-19 and RIMPAC

Congressman Ed Case has been back at home for the past eight weeks working remotely while the U.S. House has not been meeting in person because of the COVID-19 health crisis. He tells us about the federal funding to ease the economic pain caused by the crisis, as well as the decision to postpone the military war games until later this summer.

Civil Beat Politics & Opinion Editor Chad Blair tells us about the 1980s-era system the state is still using and why new technology has not yet been adopted.
