The City Council in Springfield, Massachusetts Tuesday will begin to review the proposed city budget
Four hearings have been scheduled for councilors to go through Mayor Domenic Sarno’s proposed budget department-by-department.
City Councilor Tom Ashe thinks the council won’t find much fault with the $628 million spending plan.
"The fact we got it far in advance and there is money going to the rainy day account, which is always important, is a good start," said Ashe. " I anticipate positive conversations."
By law, the council can cut, but cannot add to, the spending proposed by the mayor.
