The Wu administration may not support a state of emergency declaration request for Mass and Cass from the City Council this week, given the Board of Health’s decision against taking such action earlier this month, the Herald has learned.While she plans to call for a vote on a state of emergency at Wednesday’s City Council meeting, City Councilor Erin Murphy acknowledged that the focus of a Tuesday hearing on the matter may shift, given that the Board of Health opted against making such a declaration at its Sept. 13 meeting.“We have declared state of emergencies before and it’s allowed us to put things in action and attack a problem with the resources needed,” Murphy told the Herald. “I’m going to assume that there’s reasons why they don’t think it’s a good idea, so I’m hoping they show up so we can ask them those questions — like what is better then, if it’s not a state of emergency and what should we be doing?”Murphy was among four councilors who urged the Boston Public Health Comm...
