This week on WBAA’s Ask The Mayor: in West Lafayette, a new policy ensures vaccinated city employees will be paid for COVID-19 sick days if they’re diagnosed with COVID or required to quarantine after exposure – but unvaccinated employees will be required to pull from their existing leave.

How do differing opinions from local leaders impact the final message?
Plus, the city awaits the return of Purdue football in full this weekend.
