What's important ⁠this week

The Springfield Board of Selectmen launched an administrative review of the town’s legal code following reports of significant accessibility issues. Chief Pat Zullo noted that current ordinances lack consistent formatting and digital availability, which ⁠undermines due process for local residents.
