On the latest episode of “WKTV Journal: In Focus”, WKTV’s public affairs show, we bring to the public a discussion with Wyoming City Councilor Marissa Postler, who at the age of 23 was elected to represent the city’s 2nd Ward in last fall’s election.
Also on the program is a discussion with a Kent County Department of Health official detailing why vaccinations are important — and required by law — for young children, but also important for teenagers and even college-age youth.
In Postler’s interview, she talks about how life has changed for her a year after she “dreamed” about being a student who won a city council election, but also her learning curve during the first months on the job and how the city is moving to become more of a place for young persons like herself to call home.
“Honestly the vast majority of it (my life) is still the same: I am still a student at Grand Valley (State University), still work at Costco, but now I am living the dream,” Postler said to WKTV’s Ken Norris. “It has been mostly a lot of learning so far, as you might expect. Other than that I am still the same person, I just have a lot more responsibility than I had a few months ago.”
“WKTV Journal: In Focus” airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 6:30 p.m., with this episode running through Aug. 31, on cable television in the Wyoming and Kentwood areas on Comcast WKTV Channel 26 and on AT&T Channel 99 Government channel.
