I want to be active – three or four times a year – but I don't want to be in a rush to get back in there. I want to make sure that every time you see me, it's an updated version.

Springfield City Council extends residency requirement deadline for city employees
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Springfield City Council voted to extend the residency requirement deadline for new city employees earlier this week. This move comes as housing remains an issue in the city. The Springfield City Council voted to extend the residency requirement deadline for municipal employees by one year. Springfield police receive $7.2M in funds to upgrade software and equipment Right now, new hires only have one year to move to Springfield when taking on a city job and this will give them two years in total to find residency in the city. These changes come as the housing crisis continues, making it difficult for many to find housing in the city. Before this, workers that were not able to follow the ordinance and find housing in that time frame were expected to either move or resign. 22News spoke to Jose Delgado about the residency requirement Wednesday morning. 'I also understand the situation when everyone is having a hard time hiring,' Delgado said. 'Not just in the city of Springfield, every industry, and the real estate industry. Everywhere is expensive. That was something my colleagues voted in favor for, so that is what we have now.' But Delgado said at the same time he wants to ensure that Springfield residents get an opportunity to work for the city. He said that there is enough talented people in Springfield that can take on those city roles.

Within the first six weeks of the school year, the two cities recorded over 1,700 illegal passing violations with cameras on only 18 buses combined. Springfield lecture honors Black History Month 'This is an issue that not many are aware of, unless you are a parent. I started noticing cars driving by the stop sign when dropping off my son at his bus stop. I have been advocating the Mayor and Police Department for more enforcement on this issue and now the state has given us a tool to keep our children safe,' in a statement sent to 22News on Wednesday from City Councilor Jose Delgado.
