Vickie Welch Withdraws her Resolution Requiring a Prescription for Over-The-Counter Drugs
 
Overwhelming opposition on the state and local level has made Councilwoman Vickie Welch withdrawal her resolution that would force law abiding citizens to get a prescription for over-the-counter cold and allergy medications.
 
Citizens, doctors, and experts in the field spoke against this resolution and questioned its real effectiveness.  A vast number of constituents made hundreds of phone calls to council offices and voiced their opposition to the Welch resolution.
 
But even in the face of this overwhelming opposition, Councilwoman Vickie Welch vows to bring this resolution back when she can find the votes.
 
As your council representative, I will continue to fight for common sense legislation that helps to eradicate illegal meth use in this community, while respecting the rights of you, the law abiding citizen.
