A number of people have complained about Emily Neaole’s Vaccination Resolution as a waste of tax payer’s time and money. Unfortunately these people do not understand politics. Each Councilperson introduces discretionary resolutions that are to address local issues. This resolution was the result of Emily listening to her constituents and taking action. A few constituents express their concerns about vaccinations to Emily. Emily listened to the issues, drafted and submitted a resolution to the Council on their behalf like any responsible Councilperson would do. The fact that it passed Committee and then the full Council indicates that, for some, it was warranted. If it had been considered to be a waste of time and money, I am sure that during the first Committee hearing, it would have been defeated.
