“So I beg to differ,” said Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins, who brought the item to the Commission. “I think the practical effect is the urging, Miami-Dade County is the largest county in the state of Florida, we have to use our voice collectively in order to get things done.”
The County Commission is formally asking the governor to recognize those who the state had labeled “essential workers.”
“Essential workers were declared by our governor a year ago, those essential workers included our teachers, law enforcement and other frontline workers, when vaccines come out, it only makes sense if those essential workers are deemed essential now,” said Cohen Higgins.
