Anchorage Mayor Sworn In Via Skype

By /
Dan Sullivan was sworn in as mayor of Anchorage on Monday — from Honolulu. 

A judge administered the Oath of Office via Skype. Sullivan was re-elected to a second term, which began on July 1. KITV reports: 

But, he had already planned his annual vacation to visit his wife’s family in Kailua.  This year it includes a family reunion with relatives flying in to see each other.

Sullivan, his chief of staff, and the municipal attorney researched and came up with the Skype idea.
