But even as Nwajei started her job Monday, the mayor’s decision to hire her was brought up as an issue at the City Council meeting March 8 by a city resident in the public comment portion.

From a Zoom call, Bill Giglio, a former candidate for School Committee, asked why the mayor had hired someone who had been dismissed from her state position.

Giglio also asked the question in writing: “Why wasn't it ever mentioned that this person was just fired or let go from the same position a few months back while working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for passing thru many state workers as a vaccine exemption status that should not have? During a major pandemic? When the state was requiring a vaccine mandate, she was giving many people exemption status so they wouldn't have to get vaccinated. Is that fair to people? The (post on the city’s website) article says by the Mayor that there were other amazing applicants, so why was this person who was just let go put right back in a director’s role?”
