Big props to Knox County Commissioner (and my neighbor) Amy Broyles for introducing a resolution that supports the modest and reasonable accommodations that our county employees who also happen to be nursing mothers need on the job.
Better support for working, nursing moms means more Knox County babies will be breastfed, and breastfed longer, meaning a healthier community for all of us. It also makes Knox County more competitive in attracting and retaining top-notch female employees. It’s win-win for Knox County employees, and for us as taxpayers.
Go Amy!
If you are a Knox Countian, be sure to let your own county commissioner know that you support Amy’s fiscally wise and health-promoting resolution.
